64
(65) For the end, a Psalm and Song of David.
1 Praise becomes you, O God, in Sion; and to you shall the vow be performed.
2 Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.
3 The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do you pardon our sins.
4 Blessed is he whom you have chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in your courts; we shall be filled with the good things of your house; your temple is holy.
5 You are wonderful in righteousness. Listen to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are on the sea afar off:
6 who do * establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;
7 who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
8 The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends of the earth shall be afraid of your signs; you will cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.
9 You have visited the earth, and saturated it; you have abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; you have prepared their food, for thus is the preparation of it.
10 Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; the crop springing up shall rejoice in its drops.
11 You will bless the crown of the year because of your goodness; and your plains shall be filled with fatness.
12 The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.
13 The rams of the flock are clothed with wool, and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yes they shall sing hymns.
