Psalm 62 (Septuagint) = Psalm 63 (KJV)
Introduction
This entry meets the strict three-criteria standard of the Theosis Library, with the manuscript text drawn directly from the same source as the scan:
- Manuscript scan: The actual folio of Codex Sinaiticus containing this passage, from the Codex Sinaiticus Project (codexsinaiticus.org). Library folio reference: 103.
- Original text: The verbatim transcription of the Sinaiticus manuscript from the Codex Sinaiticus Project, preserving uncial forms, lunate sigma, nomina sacra (e.g. ⟨θϲ⟩ = θεός), and scribal marks. Nomina sacra are shown in angle brackets to indicate the manuscript's sacred-name abbreviations.
- English translation: The King James Version (1611), retrieved verbatim from the public-domain bible-api.com endpoint.
Numbering: Codex Sinaiticus follows the Septuagint Psalter, in which this is Psalm 62. In the Hebrew and King James numbering the same psalm is Psalm 63. Greek verse numbers follow the Septuagint, which counts the superscription as verse 1; English verse numbers follow the KJV, so they run 1 behind the Greek. The Greek and English in each section are the same words of the same psalm.

1ψαλμοϲ τω δαυειδ εν τω ειναι αυτον εν τη ερημω τηϲ ϊουδαιαϲ 2ο θϲ ο θϲ μου προϲ ϲε ορθριζω εδιψηϲεν ϲοι η ψυχη μου ποϲαπλωϲ ϲοι η ϲαρξ μου εν γη ερημω και αβατω και ανυδρω 3ουτωϲ εν τω αγιω ωφθην ϲοι του ϊδειν την δυναμιν ϲου και την δοξαν ϲου 4οτι κρειϲϲον το ελεοϲ ϲου ϋπερ ζωαϲ τα χειλη μου επαινεϲουϲιν ϲε 5ουτωϲ ευλογηϲω ϲε εν τη ζωη μου εν τω ονοματι ϲου αρω ταϲ χειραϲ μου
1O 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; 2To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. 3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. 4Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
6ωϲει ϲτεατοϲ και πιοτητοϲ εμπληϲθειη η ψυχη μου και χειλη αγαλλιαϲεωϲ αινεϲει το ονομα ϲου7ει εμνημονευον ϲου επι τηϲ ϲτρωμνηϲ μου εν τοιϲ ορθροιϲ εμελετων ειϲ ϲε 8οτι εγενηθηϲ βοηθοϲ μου και εν τη ϲκεπη των πτερυγων ϲου αγαλλιαϲομαι 9εκολληθη η ψυχη μου οπιϲω ϲου εμου αντελαβετο η δεξια ϲου 10αυτοι δε ειϲ ματην εζητηϲαν την ψυχην μου ειϲελευϲονται ειϲ τα κατωτατα τηϲ γηϲ
5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: 6When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. 7Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. 8My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. 9But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
11μεριδεϲ αλωπεκων εϲονται 12ο δε βαϲιλευϲ ευφρανθηϲεται επι τω κω επαινεϲθηϲεται παϲ ο ομνυων εν αυτω οτι ενεφραγη ϲτομα λαλουντων αδικα
10They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. 11But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
