Psalms 65

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 For the leader. A psalm of David. A song.	1 To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out.
2 To you we owe our hymn of praise, O God on Zion; To you our vows must be fulfilled,	2 A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.
3 you who hear our prayers. To you all flesh must come	3 O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.
4 with its burden of wicked deeds. We are overcome by our sins; only you can pardon them.	4 The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.
5 Happy the chosen ones you bring to dwell in your courts. May we be filled with the good things of your house, the blessings of your holy temple!	5 Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,
6 You answer us with awesome deeds of justice, O God our savior, The hope of all the ends of the earth and of far distant islands.	6 wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.
7 You are robed in power, you set up the mountains by your might.	7 Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:
8 You still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples.	8 who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,
9 Distant peoples stand in awe of your marvels; east and west you make resound with joy.	9 and they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.
10 You visit the earth and water it, make it abundantly fertile. God's stream is filled with water; with it you supply the world with grain. Thus do you prepare the earth:	10 Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.
11 you drench plowed furrows, and level their ridges. With showers you keep the ground soft, blessing its young sprouts.	11 Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.
12 You adorn the year with your bounty; your paths drip with fruitful rain.	12 Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.
13 The untilled meadows also drip; the hills are robed with joy.	13 The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy,
14 The pastures are clothed with flocks, the valleys blanketed with grain; they cheer and sing for joy.	14 The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.
