Psalms 64
1 For the end, a Psalm
and Song of David.
2 Praise becomes thee, O God, in Sion;
and to thee shall the vow be performed.
3 Hear my prayer; to thee all flesh
shall come. 4 The words of
transgressors have overpowered us; but do thou pardon our sins.
5 Blessed
is he whom thou hast chosen and adopted; he shall
dwell in thy courts; we shall be filled with the good things of thy house; thy
temple is holy. 6 Thou art wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us,
O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them
that are on the sea afar off:
7 who dost
aGr. prepare.establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about with power;
8 who troublest the depth of the sea,
the sounds of its waves. 9 The nations
shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends
of the earth shall be afraid of thy signs; thou wilt
cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.
10 Thou hast visited the earth, and
saturated it; thou hast abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled
with water; thou hast prepared their food, for thus is the preparation
of it.
11 Saturate her furrows, multiply her
fruits; the crop springing up shall rejoice in its
drops. 12 Thou wilt bless the crown
of the year because of thy goodness; and thy plains
shall be filled with fatness. 13 The
mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird
themselves with joy. 14 The rams of
the flock are clothed with wool, and the valleys
shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yea they shall sing hymns.
