Psalms 65

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [For the choirmaster Psalm Of David Song] Praise is rightful y yours, God, in Zion. Vows to you shallbe fulfil ed,	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 for you answer prayer. All humanity must come to you	2 A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.
3 with its sinful deeds. Our faults overwhelm us, but you blot them out.	3 O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.
4 How blessed those whom you choose and invite to dwell in your courts. We shal be filled with thegood things of your house, of your holy temple.	4 The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.
5 You respond to us with the marvels of your saving justice, God our Saviour, hope of the whole wideworld, even the distant islands.	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 By your strength you hold the mountains steady, being clothed in power,	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 calm the turmoil of the seas, the turmoil of their waves. The nations are in uproar, in panic thosewho live at the ends of the earth;	7 Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:
8 your miracles bring shouts of joy to the gateways of morning and evening.	8 who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,
9 You visit the earth and make it fruitful, you fill it with riches; the river of God brims over with water, youprovide the grain. To that end	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 water its furrows abundantly, level its ridges, soften it with showers and bless its shoots.	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 crown the year with your generosity, richness seeps from your tracks,	11 Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.
12 the pastures of the desert grow moist, the hillsides are wrapped in joy,	12 Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.
13 the meadows are covered with flocks, the val eys clothed with wheat; they shout and sing for joy.	13 The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with 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.
