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.

Psalms 65

¹Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

²O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

³Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

⁴Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

⁵By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

⁶Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:

⁷Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

⁸They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

⁹Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

¹⁰Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.

¹¹Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.

¹²They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

¹³The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
