< Psalms 65 >
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile. O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme or song of David. O God, praise waiteth for thee in Zion, and vnto thee shall the vowe be perfourmed.
2 Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.
Because thou hearest the prayer, vnto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.
Wicked deedes haue preuailed against me: but thou wilt be mercifull vnto our transgressions.
4 Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:
Blessed is he, whom thou chusest and causest to come to thee: he shall dwell in thy courtes, and we shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thine House, euen of thine holy Temple.
5 wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.
O God of our saluation, thou wilt answere vs with fearefull signes in thy righteousnes, O thou the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are farre off in the sea.
6 You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.
He stablisheth the mountaines by his power: and is girded about with strength.
7 You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,
He appeaseth the noyse of the seas and the noyse of the waues thereof, and the tumults of the people.
8 and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.
They also, that dwell in the vttermost parts of the earth, shalbe afraide of thy signes: thou shalt make the East and the West to reioyce.
9 You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou makest it very riche: the Riuer of God is full of water: thou preparest them corne: for so thou appointest it.
10 Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.
Thou waterest abundantly the furrowes thereof: thou causest the raine to descende into the valleies thereof: thou makest it soft with showres, and blessest the bud thereof.
11 You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.
Thou crownest ye yeere with thy goodnesse, and thy steppes droppe fatnesse.
12 The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.
They drop vpon the pastures of the wildernesse: and the hils shalbe compassed with gladnes.
13 The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.
The pastures are clad with sheepe: the valleis also shalbe couered with corne: therefore they shoute for ioye, and sing.
