Psalms 65

1 A praise and thanksgiving unto God by the faithful, who are signified by Zion, 4 For the chusing, preservation & governance of them, 9 And for the plentiful blessings poured forth upon all the earth, but specially toward his Church.
To him that excelleth, A Psalme or song of David.
1.O God, apraise waiteth for thee in Zión, and unto thee shal the vow be performed.
2.Because thou hearest the praier, unto thee shal all bflesh come.
3.Wicked deeds chave prevailed against me: but thou wilt be merciful unto our transgressions.
4.Blessed is he, whom thou chusest and causest to come to thee: he shal dwell in thy courts, and we shal be satisfied with the pleasures of thine House, even of thine holie Temple.
5.O God of our salvation, thou wilt danswer us with fearful signs in thy righteousness, ô thou the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are far off in the esea.
6.He stablisheth the mountains by his power: and is girded about with strength.
7.He appeaseth the fnoise of the seas and the noise of the waves thereof, and the tumults of the people.
8.They also, that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth, shalbe afraid of thy signs: thou shalt make ^the East and the West to rejoyce.
9.Thou gvisitest the earth, and waterest it: thou makest it very rich: the hRiver of God is full of water: thou preparest them corn: for so thou appointest iit.
10.Thou kwaterest abundantly the furrows thereof, thou causest the rain to descend into the valleis thereof: thou makest it soft with showers, and blessest the bud thereof.
11.Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy steps drop fatness.
12.They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the hills shal be compassed with gladness.
13.The pastures are clad with sheep: the valleis also shal be covered with corn: therefore they shout for joy, land sing.
