Psalms 65

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of the Resurrection. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth.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 Proclaim a psalm to his name. Give glory to his praise.2 A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.
3 Exclaim to God, “How terrible are your works, O Lord!” According to the fullness of your virtue, your enemies will speak lies about you.3 O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.
4 Let all the earth adore you and sing psalms to you. May it sing a psalm to your name.4 The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.
5 Draw near and see the works of God, who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.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 He converts the sea into dry land. They will cross the river on foot. There, we will rejoice in him.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 He rules by his virtue for eternity. His eyes gaze upon the nations. May those who exasperate him, not be exalted in themselves.7 Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:
8 Bless our God, you Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise be heard.8 who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,
9 He has set my soul toward life, and he has granted that my feet may not be shaken.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 For you, O God, have tested us. You have examined us by fire, just as silver is examined.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 have led us into a snare. You have placed tribulations on our back.11 Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.
12 You have set men over our heads. We have crossed through fire and water. And you have led us out to refreshment.12 Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.
13 I will enter your house with holocausts. I will repay my vows to you,13 The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy,
14 which my lips discerned and my mouth spoke, in my tribulation.14 The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.
15 I will offer to you holocausts full of marrow, with the burnt offerings of rams. I will offer to you bulls as well as goats.
16 Draw near and listen, all you who fear God, and I will describe to you how much he has done for my soul.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth, and I extolled him under my breath.
18 If I have seen iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not heed me.
19 And yet, God has heeded me and he has attended to the voice of my supplication.
20 Blessed is God, who has not removed my prayer, nor his mercy, from me.
