Psalm 62

Christianity. Orthodoxy. Catholicism. Sense of life. Prayers.

You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;' but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. 'It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,' but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery. 'Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,' but I tell you, don't swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God; nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can't make one hair white or black. But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one. 'You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'* But I tell you, don't resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also. Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you. 'You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor,* and hate your enemy.*' But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven.

	Psalm 62

O God, my God, I rise early to pray to Thee. My soul thirsts for Thee, and in how many ways my flesh longs for Thee, in a desolate land, trackless and waterless. Thus have I appeared before Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory. For Thy love is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee. Thus will I bless Thee as long as I live, and lift up my hands in Thy Name. My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth praises Thee with joyful lips: When I remember Thee on my bed, and meditate on Thee in the morning. For Thou hast been my Helper, and in the shelter of Thy wings I rejoice. My soul cleaveth unto Thee; and Thy right hand holds me tight. But those who falsely seek my soul shall go into the depths of the earth. They shall be delivered to the edge of the sword, they shall be morsels for foxes. But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by Him shall be praised, for the mouth of those who tell lies shall be stopped.

(And again)
I meditate on Thee in the morning. For Thou hast been my Helper, and in the shelter of Thy wings I rejoice. My soul cleaveth unto Thee; and Thy right hand holds me tight.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Glory to Thee, O God (Thrice).
Lord, have mercy (Thrice).
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
