Psalms 65

¹Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of the Resurrection. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth

²Proclaim a psalm to his name. Give glory to his praise

³Exclaim to God, “How terrible are your works, O Lord!” According to the fullness of your virtue, your enemies will speak lies about you

⁴Let all the earth adore you and sing psalms to you. May it sing a psalm to your name

⁵Draw near and see the works of God, who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men

⁶He converts the sea into dry land. They will cross the river on foot. There, we will rejoice in him

⁷He rules by his virtue for eternity. His eyes gaze upon the nations. May those who exasperate him, not be exalted in themselves

⁸Bless our God, you Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise be heard

⁹He has set my soul toward life, and he has granted that my feet may not be shaken

¹⁰For you, O God, have tested us. You have examined us by fire, just as silver is examined

¹¹You have led us into a snare. You have placed tribulations on our back

¹²You have set men over our heads. We have crossed through fire and water. And you have led us out to refreshment

¹³I will enter your house with holocausts. I will repay my vows to you

¹⁴which my lips discerned and my mouth spoke, in my tribulation

¹⁵I will offer to you holocausts full of marrow, with the burnt offerings of rams. I will offer to you bulls as well as goats

¹⁶Draw near and listen, all you who fear God, and I will describe to you how much he has done for my soul

¹⁷I cried out to him with my mouth, and I extolled him under my breath

¹⁸If I have seen iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not heed me

¹⁹And yet, God has heeded me and he has attended to the voice of my supplication

²⁰Blessed is God, who has not removed my prayer, nor his mercy, from me
