Psalm 62:8 was one of today’s daily verses (Die Losungen for all you German-speakers), and it’s so beautiful and spoke to me so profoundly that I wanted to share it with you all, along with Psalm 63.

Psalm 62

To the chief musician. To Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

Truly my soul silently waits for God; from Him comes my salvation;

He is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

How long will you attack a man? You shall be slain, all of you, like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.

They only consult to cast him down from his high position; they delight in lies;

They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

Selah

My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.

He only is my rock and my salvation;

He is my defence; I shall not be moved.

In God is my salvation and my glory;

The rock of my strength and my refuge is in God.

Trust in Him at all times, you people;

Pour out your heart to Him; God is a refuge for us.

Selah

Surely men of a low degree are a vapour, men of high degree are a lie;

If they are weighed on the scales, they are altogether lighter than vapour.

Do not trust in oppression, nor vainly hope in robbery;

If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

God has spoken once, twice I have heard this:

That power belongs to God.

Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;

For You render to each one according to his work.

Psalm 63

A psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

O God, You are my God; early I will seek You;

My soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You

In a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.

So have I looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and glory.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.

Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your Name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

When I remember You on my bed, I mediate on You in the night watches.

Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings will I rejoice.

My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.

But those who seek my life, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

They shall fall by the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals.

But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him shall glory;

But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
