Psalm 62 (Deus, Deus Meus — Morning Psalm of Lauds)

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! 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. For Thy mercy is better than lives: Thee my lips shall praise. Thus will I bless Thee all my life long: and in Thy name I will lift up my hands. Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise Thee with joyful lips. If I have remembered Thee upon my bed, I will meditate on Thee in the morning: because Thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of Thy wings: my soul hath stuck close to Thee: Thy right hand hath received me.
