61.5 :For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows;
 * Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.
 * Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days!
 * May his years be as many generations!
 * May he be enthroned before God for ever!
 * Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.


 * So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever,
 * That I may daily perform my vows.

For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.


 * Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness;
 * From Him cometh my salvation.
 * He only is my rock and my salvation,
 * My high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.
 * How long will ye set upon a man,
 * That ye may slay him, all of you,
 * As a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
 * They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies;
 * They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.


 * Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul;
 * For from Him cometh my hope.
 * He only is my rock and my salvation,
 * My high tower, I shall not be moved.
 * Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory;
 * The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
 * Trust in Him at all times, ye people;
 * Pour out your heart before Him;
 * God is a refuge for us.


 * Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie;
 * If they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.
 * Trust not in oppression,
 * And put not vain hope in robbery;
 * If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
 * God hath spoken once,
 * Twice have I heard this:
 * That strength belongeth unto God;
 * Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy;
 * For Thou renderest to every man according to his work.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.


 * O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee;
 * My soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee,
 * In a dry and weary land, where no water is.
 * So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary,
 * To see Thy power and Thy glory.


 * For Thy lovingkindness is better than life;
 * My lips shall praise Thee.
 * So will I bless Thee as long as I live;
 * In Thy name will I lift up my hands.


 * My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
 * And my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;
