Psalm 65
Te decet hymnus
1
You, O God, are to be praised in Zion, *
and unto you shall vows be performed in Jerusalem.
2
You who hear our prayer, *
unto you shall all flesh come.
3
My misdeeds prevail against me; *
O be merciful and blot out our sins.
4
Blessed is the man whom you choose and receive unto yourself; *
he shall dwell in your courts and shall be satisfied with the pleasures of your house, even of your holy temple.
5
You shall show us wonderful things in your righteousness, O God of our salvation, *
for you are the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the isles that are far away;
6
You in your strength set firm the mountains, *
and are girded about with power;
7
You still the raging of the seas, *
the noise of their waves and the tumult of the peoples.
8
Those who dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth shall be in fear of your wonders; *
you make the morning and evening to shout with joy.
9
You visit the earth and bless it; *
you make it very plenteous.
10
The river of God is full of water; *
you prepare the grain, for so you provide for the earth.
11
You water its furrows; you send rain into the little valleys; *
you make it soft with the drops of rain and bless the increase of it.
12
You crown the year with your goodness, *
and your paths overflow with plenty.
13
The fields of the wilderness are rich in pasture, *
and the little hills rejoice on every side.
14
The folds shall be full of sheep; *
the valleys also shall stand so thick with grain that they shall laugh and sing.
Psalm 67
Deus misereatur
1
May God be merciful unto us, and bless us, *
and show us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us.
2
Let your way be known upon earth, *
your saving health among all nations.
3
Let the peoples praise you, O God; *
indeed, let all the peoples praise you.
4
O let the nations rejoice and be glad, *
for you shall judge the peoples righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.
5
Let the peoples praise you, O God; *
let all the peoples praise you.
6
Then shall the earth bring forth her increase, *
and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.
7
God shall bless us, *
and all the ends of the world shall fear him.
