Psalm 65
1 For the end, a Song of a Psalm of resurrection.
Shout unto God, all the earth.
2 O sing praises to his name;
give glory to his praise.
3 Say unto God, How awful are thy works!
through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee.
4 Let all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee;
let them sing to thy name.
Pause.
5 Come and behold the works of God;
he is terrible in his counsels beyond the children of men.
6 Who turneth the sea into dry land;
they shall go through the river on foot;
there shall we rejoice in him,
7 who by his power [1]is Lord over the age,
his eyes look upon the nations;
let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves.
Pause.
8 Bless our God, ye Gentiles,
and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
9 who quickeneth my soul in life,
and doth not suffer my feet to be moved.
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us;
thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried.
11 Thou broughtest us into the snare;
thou laidest afflictions on our back.
12 Thou didst mount men upon our heads;
we went through fire and water;
but thou broughtest us out into a place of refreshment.
13 I will go into thy house with whole-burnt offerings;
I will pay thee my vows,
14 which my lips framed,
and my mouth uttered in mine affliction.
15 I will offer to thee whole-burnt sacrifices full of marrow,
with incense and rams;
I will sacrifice to thee oxen with goats.
Pause.
16 Come, hear, and I will tell,
all ye that fear God,
how great things he hath done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.
18 If I have regarded iniquity in my heart,
let not the Lord hearken to me.
19 Therefore God hath hearkened to me;
he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer,
nor his mercy from me.
