— Psalms 62:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“How 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.”
“How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? ”
“How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?”
“How long will you threaten a man? All of you are murderers, as dangerous as a leaning wall or an unstable fence.”
“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.”
“How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?”
“How 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.”
A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea.
O 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.
By 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.
For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.
So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name.
Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.
