Psalm 65

Te decet hymnus

Thou, O God, art praised in Sion *

and unto thee shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.

Thou that hearest the prayer *

unto thee shall all flesh come.

My misdeeds prevail against me *

O be thou merciful unto our sins.

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and receivest unto thee *

he shall dwell in thy court, and shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

Thou shalt shew us wonderful things in thy righteousness, O God of our salvation *

thou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that remain in the broad sea.

Who in his strength setteth fast the mountains *

and is girded about with power.

Who stilleth the raging of the sea *

and the noise of his waves, and the madness of the people.

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth shall be afraid at thy tokens *

thou that makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to praise thee.

Thou visitest the earth, and blessest it *

thou makest it very plenteous.

The river of God is full of water *

thou preparest their corn, for so thou providest for the earth.

Thou waterest her furrows, thou sendest rain into the little valleys thereof *

thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and blessest the increase of it.

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness *

and thy clouds drop fatness.

They shall drop upon the dwellings of the wilderness *

and the little hills shall rejoice on every side.

The folds shall be full of sheep *

the valleys also shall stand so thick with corn, that they shall laugh and sing.

Psalm 66

Jubilate Deo

O be joyful in God, all ye lands *

sing praises unto the honour of his Name, make his praise to be glorious.

Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou in thy works *

through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies be found liars unto thee.

For all the world shall worship thee *

sing of thee, and praise thy Name.

O come hither, and behold the works of God *

how wonderful he is in his doing toward the children of men.

He turned the sea into dry land *

so that they went through the water on foot; there did we rejoice thereof.

He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes behold the people *

and such as will not believe shall not be able to exalt themselves.

O praise our God, ye people *

and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

Who holdeth our soul in life *

and suffereth not our feet to slip.

For thou, O God, hast proved us *

thou also hast tried us, like as silver is tried.

Thou broughtest us into the snare *

and laidest trouble upon our loins.

Thou sufferedst men to ride over our heads *

we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings *

and will pay thee my vows, which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble.

I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the incense of rams *

I will offer bullocks and goats.

O come hither, and hearken, all ye that fear God *

and I will tell you what he hath done for my soul.

I called unto him with my mouth *

and gave him praises with my tongue.

If I incline unto wickedness with mine heart *

the Lord will not hear me.

But God hath heard me *

and considered the voice of my prayer.

Praised be God, who hath not cast out my prayer *

nor turned his mercy from me.

Psalm 67

Deus misereatur

God be merciful unto us, and bless us *

and shew us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us:

That thy way may be known upon earth *

thy saving health among all nations.

Let the people praise thee, O God *

yea, let all the people praise thee.

O let the nations rejoice and be glad *

for thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.

Let the people praise thee, O God *

let all the people praise thee.

Then shall the earth bring forth her increase *

and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.

God shall bless us *

and all the ends of the world shall fear him.
