Psalms 64

¹Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile.

²O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.

³Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.

⁴Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.

⁵Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:

⁶wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.

⁷You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.

⁸You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,

⁹and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.

¹⁰You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.

¹¹Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.

¹²You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.

¹³The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.

¹⁴The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.

Psalms 64

¹To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out.

²A hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.

³O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.

⁴The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.

⁵Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,

⁶Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.

⁷Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:

⁸Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,

⁹And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.

¹⁰Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.

¹¹Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.

¹²Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.

¹³The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy,

¹⁴The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.
