Scripture Context
Psalms 62:9 - Psalms 63:6
9 Surely 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.
10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
Psalms 63
Intro: David's desire for God. (David's Psalm in the wilderness of Judah.)
1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee; my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
