Psalms 65
1 For the end, a Song of a Psalm of
resurrection.
Shout unto God, all the earth. 2 O
sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.
3 Say unto God, How awful are thy
works! through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee.
4 Let all the earth worship thee, and
sing to thee; let them sing to thy name. Pause.
5 Come and behold the works of God;
he is terrible in
his counsels beyond the children of men.
6 Who turns the sea into dry land;
they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,
7 who by his power
aOr, has dominion for ever.is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that
provoke him be exalted in themselves. Pause.
8 Bless our God, ye Gentiles, and make
the voice of his praise to be heard;
9 who quickens my soul in life, and
does not suffer my feet to be moved.
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us;
thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried.
11 Thou broughtest us into the snare;
thou laidest afflictions on our back.
12 Thou didst mount men upon our
heads; we went through fire and water; but thou broughtest us out into
a place of refreshment.
13 I will go into thine house with
whole-burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,
14 which my lips framed, and my mouth
uttered in my affliction. 15 I will
offer to thee whole-burnt-sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I
will sacrifice to thee oxen with goats. Pause.
16 Come, hear, and I will tell, all
ye that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth, and
exalted him with my tongue. 18 If I
have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord hearken
to me.
19 Therefore God has hearkened to me;
he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, who has not turned
away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
