Psalm 65–66

Psalm 65

¹Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection.

Shout with joy to God, all the earth,

²Sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.

³Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.

⁴Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.

⁵Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

⁶Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there shall we rejoice in him.

⁷Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves.

⁸O bless our God, ye Gentiles: and make the voice of his praise to be heard.

⁹Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:

¹⁰For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us by fire, as silver is tried.

¹¹Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:

¹²Thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through fire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.

¹³I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

¹⁴Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

¹⁵I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.

¹⁶Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what great things he hath done for my soul.

¹⁷I cried to him with my mouth: and I extolled him with my tongue.

¹⁸If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

¹⁹Therefore hath God heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.

²⁰Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

Psalm 66

¹Unto the end, in hymns, a psalm of a canticle for David.

²May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.

³That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations.

⁴Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee.

⁵Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.

⁶Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee:

⁷The earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us,

⁸May God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him.
