PSALM 65
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise waits for thee in Sion, Lord:
to thee vows paid shall be.
2O thou that hearer art of pray'r,
all flesh shall come to thee.
3Iniquities, I must confess,
prevail against me do:
But as for our transgressions,
them purge away shalt thou.
4Bless'd is the man whom thou dost chuse,
and mak'st approach to thee,
That he within thy courts, O Lord,
may still a dweller be:
We surely shall be satisfy'd
with thy abundant grace,
And with the goodness of thy house,
ev'n of thy holy place.
5O God of our salvation,
thou, in thy righteousness,
By fearful works unto our pray'rs
thine answer dost express:
Therefore the ends of all the earth,
and those afar that be
Upon the sea, their confidence,
O Lord, will place in thee.
6Who, being girt with pow'r, sets fast
by his great strength the hills.
7Who noise of seas, noise of their waves,
and people's tumult, stills.
8Those in the utmost parts that dwell
are at thy signs afraid:
Th' outgoings of the morn and ev'n
by thee are joyful made.
9The earth thou visit'st, wat'ring it;
thou mak'st it rich to grow
With God's full flood; thou corn prepar'st,
when thou provid'st it so.
10Her rigs thou wat'rest plenteously,
her furrows settelest:
With show'rs thou dost her mollify,
her spring by thee is blest.
11So thou the year most lib'rally
dost with thy goodness crown;
And all thy paths abundantly
on us drop fatness down.
12They drop upon the pastures wide,
that do in deserts lie;
The little hills on ev'ry side
rejoice right pleasantly.
13With flocks the pastures clothed be,
the vales with corn are clad;
And now they shout and sing to thee,
for thou hast made them glad.

Psalms 65
65
PSALM 65.
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 he 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 tire 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.
