Psalm 62, Catholic Public Domain Version
A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea.
Psalmus David, cum esset in deserto Idumææ.
- 2
O God, my God: to you, I keep vigil until first light. For you, my soul has thirsted, to you my body, in so many ways.
Deus, Deus meus, ad te de luce vigilo. Sitivit in te anima mea; quam multipliciter tibi caro mea!
- 3
By a deserted land, both inaccessible and waterless, so I have appeared in the sanctuary before you, in order to behold your virtue and your glory.
In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa, sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam.
- 4
For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.
Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas, labia mea laudabunt te.
- 5
So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name.
Sic benedicam te in vita mea, et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.
- 6
Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.
Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea, et labiis exsultationis laudabit os meum.
- 7
When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you.
Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te.
- 8
For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings.
Quia fuisti adjutor meus, et in velamento alarum tuarum exsultabo.
- 9
My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.
Adhæsit anima mea post te; me suscepit dextera tua.
- 10
Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts of the earth.
Ipsi vero in vanum quæsierunt animam meam: introibunt in inferiora terræ;
- 11
They will be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes.
tradentur in manus gladii: partes vulpium erunt.
- 12
Truly, the king will rejoice in God: all those who swear by him will be praised, because the mouth of those who speak iniquity has been blocked.
Rex vero lætabitur in Deo; laudabuntur omnes qui jurant in eo: quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.
