Psalms 62-65

In God is My Salvation and My Glory

(Day 18 of the Omer)

Psalm 62:5-8 My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.

Prayer:

O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. O You who hear prayer, to You all flesh will come. Iniquities prevail against me; as for our transgressions, You will provide atonement for them. Blessed are the ones whom You choose and cause to approach You, that they may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, of Your holy temple. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My mouth shall praise You with joyful lips. Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us, O God of our salvation, You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth!
