Psalms 62

A psalm of David while he was in the desert of Edom.

Psalmus David, cum esset in deserto Idumææ.

ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῆς Ιουδαίας

O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!

Deus, Deus meus, ad te de luce vigilo. Sitivit in te anima mea; quam multipliciter tibi caro mea!

ὁ θεὸς ὁ θεός μου πρὸς σὲ ὀρθρίζω ἐδίψησέν σοι ἡ ψυχή μου ποσαπλῶς σοι ἡ σάρξ μου ἐν γῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἀβάτῳ καὶ ἀνύδρῳ

In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.

In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa, sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam.

οὕτως ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ ὤφθην σοι τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὴν δύναμίν σου καὶ τὴν δόξαν σου

For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips will praise.

Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas, labia mea laudabunt te.

ὅτι κρεῖσσον τὸ ἔλεός σου ὑπὲρ ζωάς τὰ χείλη μου ἐπαινέσουσίν σε

Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.

Sic benedicam te in vita mea, et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.

οὕτως εὐλογήσω σε ἐν τῇ ζωῇ μου ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἀρῶ τὰς χεῖράς μου

Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea, et labiis exsultationis laudabit os meum.

ὡσεὶ στέατος καὶ πιότητος ἐμπλησθείη ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ χείλη ἀγαλλιάσεως αἰνέσει τὸ στόμα μου

If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:

Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te.

εἰ ἐμνημόνευόν σου ἐπὶ τῆς στρωμνῆς μου ἐν τοῖς ὄρθροις ἐμελέτων εἰς σέ

Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:

Quia fuisti adjutor meus, et in velamento alarum tuarum exsultabo.

ὅτι ἐγενήθης βοηθός μου καὶ ἐν τῇ σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἀγαλλιάσομαι

My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.

Adhæsit anima mea post te; me suscepit dextera tua.

ἐκολλήθη ἡ ψυχή μου ὀπίσω σου ἐμοῦ ἀντελάβετο ἡ δεξιά σου

But they have fought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:

Ipsi vero in vanum quæsierunt animam meam : introibunt in inferiora terræ;

αὐτοὶ δὲ εἰς μάτην ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὰ κατώτατα τῆς γῆς

They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.

tradentur in manus gladii : partes vulpium erunt.

παραδοθήσονται εἰς χεῖρας ῥομφαίας μερίδες ἀλωπέκων ἔσονται

But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.

Rex vero lætabitur in Deo; laudabuntur omnes qui jurant in eo : quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.

ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς εὐφρανθήσεται ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ ἐπαινεσθήσεται πᾶς ὁ ὀμνύων ἐν αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐνεφράγη στόμα λαλούντων ἄδικα
