Psalms 62 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 62
1A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea.
2O 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.
3By 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.
4For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.
5So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name.
6Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.
7When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you.
8For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings.
9My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.
10Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts of the earth.
11They will be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes.
12Truly, 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.
Psalms 62
1Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
