Psalms 65

chevron_leftchevron_right

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.

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.
