Psalms 64

¹ To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity , when they began to go out.

² A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.

³ O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.

⁴ The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.

⁵ Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple, [1] "Of the captivity" : That is, the people of the captivity of Babylon. This is not in the Hebrew, but is found in the ancient translation of the Septuagint.

⁶ Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.

⁷ Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:

⁸ Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,

⁹ And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.

¹⁰ Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.

¹¹ Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.

¹² Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.

¹³ The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy,

¹⁴ The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn. Book of Psalms next > Psalm 64 next > TOP OF PAGE side_ads("../") var sc_project = 12672635; var sc_invisible = 1; var sc_security = "b8696459";
