Psalms 65; Psalms 66; Psalms 67

1 (64-1) <To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out.> (64-2) A hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.

2 (64-3) O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.

3 (64-4) The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.

4 (64-5) Blessed 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,

5 (64-6) Wonderful 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.

6 (64-7) Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:

7 (64-8) Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,

8 (64-9) And 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.

9 (64-10) Thou 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.

10 (64-11) Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.

11 (64-12) Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.

12 (64-13) The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy,

13 (64-14) The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.

1 (65-1) <Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection.> Shout with joy to God, all the earth,

2 (65-2) Sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.

3 (65-3) Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.

4 (65-4) Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.

5 (65-5) Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

6 (65-6) Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there shall we rejoice in him.

7 (65-7) Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves.

8 (65-8) O bless our God, ye Gentiles: and make the voice of his praise to be heard.

9 (65-9) Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:

10 (65-10) For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us by fire, as silver is tried.

11 (65-11) Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:

12 (65-12) Thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through fire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.

13 (65-13) I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

14 (65-14) Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15 (65-15) I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.

16 (65-16) Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what great things he hath done for my soul.

17 (65-17) I cried to him with my mouth: and I extolled him with my tongue.

18 (65-18) If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

19 (65-19) Therefore hath God heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.

20 (65-20) Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

1 (66-1) <Unto the end, in hymns, a psalm of a canticle for David.> (66-2) May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.

2 (66-3) That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations.

3 (66-4) Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee.

4 (66-5) Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.

5 (66-6) Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee:

6 (66-7) The earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us,

7 (66-8) May God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him.
