Psalms 65

¹Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of the Resurrection. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth.

²Proclaim a psalm to his name. Give glory to his praise.

³Exclaim to God, “How terrible are your works, O Lord!” According to the fullness of your virtue, your enemies will speak lies about you.

⁴Let all the earth adore you and sing psalms to you. May it sing a psalm to your name.

⁵Draw near and see the works of God, who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

⁶He converts the sea into dry land. They will cross the river on foot. There, we will rejoice in him.

⁷He rules by his virtue for eternity. His eyes gaze upon the nations. May those who exasperate him, not be exalted in themselves.

⁸Bless our God, you Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise be heard.

⁹He has set my soul toward life, and he has granted that my feet may not be shaken.

¹⁰For you, O God, have tested us. You have examined us by fire, just as silver is examined.

¹¹You have led us into a snare. You have placed tribulations on our back.

¹²You have set men over our heads. We have crossed through fire and water. And you have led us out to refreshment.

¹³I will enter your house with holocausts. I will repay my vows to you,

¹⁴which my lips discerned and my mouth spoke, in my tribulation.

¹⁵I will offer to you holocausts full of marrow, with the burnt offerings of rams. I will offer to you bulls as well as goats.

¹⁶Draw near and listen, all you who fear God, and I will describe to you how much he has done for my soul.

¹⁷I cried out to him with my mouth, and I extolled him under my breath.

¹⁸If I have seen iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not heed me.

¹⁹And yet, God has heeded me and he has attended to the voice of my supplication.

²⁰Blessed is God, who has not removed my prayer, nor his mercy, from me.

¹Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection. Shout with joy to God, all the earth,

²Sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.

³Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.

⁴Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.

⁵Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

⁶Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there shall we rejoice in him.

⁷Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves.

⁸O bless our God, ye Gentiles: and make the voice of his praise to be heard.

⁹Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:

¹⁰For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us by fire, as silver is tried.

¹¹Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:

¹²Thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through fire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.

¹³I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

¹⁴Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

¹⁵I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.

¹⁶Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what great things he hath done for my soul.

¹⁷I cried to him with my mouth: and I extolled him with my tongue.

¹⁸If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

¹⁹Therefore hath God heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.

²⁰Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
