Psalm 65

A praiſe and thankesgeuing vnto God by the faithful, who are ſignified by Zion, 4 For the chuſing, preſeruation and gouernance of them, 9 And for the plentiful bleſſings powred forthe vpon all the earth, but ſpecially toward his Church.
¶ To him that excelleth. A Pſalme or ſong of Dauid.
1.O God, praiſe waiteth for thee in Zion, & vnto thee ſhal the vowe be performed.
2.Becauſe thou heareſt the praier, vnto thee ſhal all fleſh come.
3.Wicked dedes haue preuailed againſt me: but thou wilt be merciful vnto our trãſgreſsions.
4.Bleſſed is he, whome 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, euen of thine holie Temple.
5.O God of our ſaluacion, thou wilt anſwer vs with feareful ſignes in thy righteousnes, ô thou the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are farre of in the ſea.
6.He ſtabliſheth ye moũtaines by his power: and is girded about with ſtrength.
7.He appeaſeth the noiſe of the ſeas and the noiſe of the waues thereof, and the tumultes of the people.
8.Thei alſo, that dwell in the vttermoſt partes of the earth, ſhalbe afraid of thy ſignes: thou ſhalt make the Eaſt and the Weſt to reioyce.
9.Thou viſiteſt the earth, and watereſt it: thou makeſt it very riche: the Riuer of God is ful of water: thou prepareſt them corne: for ſo thou appointeſt it.
10.Thou watereſt abũdantly the forrowes thereof: thou cauſeſt the raine to deſcend into ye valleis thereof: thou makeſt it ſoft with ſhowres, & bleſſeſt the bud thereof.
11.Thou crowneſt the yere with thy goodnes, and thy ſteps drop fatnes.
12.They drop vpon ye paſtures of the wildernes: & the hils ſhal be cõpaſſed wt gladnes.
13.The paſtures are clad with ſhepe: ye valleis alſo ſhal be couered with corne: therefore they ſhowte for ioye, and ſing.
