Psalm 64

The Ninth Kathisma

¹ For the end, a Psalm and Song of David.

² Praise becometh thee, O God, in Sion;

and to thee shall the vow be performed.

³ Hear my prayer;

to thee all flesh shall come.

⁴ The words of transgressors have overpowered us;

but do thou pardon our sins.

⁵ Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and adopted;

he shall dwell in thy courts;

we shall be filled with the good things of thy house;

thy temple is holy. ⁶ Thou art wonderful in righteousness.

Hearken to us, O God our Saviour;

the hope of all the ends of the earth,

and of them that are on the sea afar off:

⁷ who dost ^[1]establish the mountains in thy strength,

being girded about with power;

⁸ who troublest the depth of the sea,

the sounds of its waves.

⁹ The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends of the earth shall be afraid of thy signs;

thou wilt cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.

¹⁰ Thou hast visited the earth, and saturated it;

thou hast abundantly enriched it.

The river of God is filled with water;

thou hast prepared their food, for thus is the preparation of it.

¹¹ Saturate her furrows,

multiply her fruits;

the crop springing up shall rejoice in its drops.

¹² Thou wilt bless the crown of the year because of thy goodness;

and thy plains shall be filled with fatness.

¹³ The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched;

and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.

¹⁴ The rams of the flock are clothed with wool,

and the valleys shall abound in corn;

they shall cry aloud, yea they shall sing hymns.
