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.
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.
