^[a]65 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion;
And unto thee shall the vow be performed.
² O thou that hearest prayer,
Unto thee shall all flesh come.
^3 [b]Iniquities prevail against me:
As for our transgressions, thou wilt ^[c]forgive them.
⁴ Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee,
That he may dwell in thy courts:
We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house,
Thy holy temple.
⁵ By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness,
O God of our salvation,
Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
And ^[d]of them that are afar off upon the sea:
⁶ Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains,
Being girded about with might;
⁷ Who stilleth the roaring of the seas,
The roaring of their waves,
And the tumult of the peoples.
⁸ They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens:
Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
⁹ Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it,
Thou greatly enrichest it;
The river of God is full of water:
Thou providest them grain, ^[e]when thou hast so prepared ^[f]the earth.
¹⁰ Thou waterest its furrows abundantly;
Thou ^[g]settlest the ridges thereof:
Thou makest it soft with showers;
Thou blessest the springing thereof.
¹¹ Thou crownest ^[h]the year with thy goodness;
And thy paths drop fatness.
^12 [i]They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness;
And the hills are girded with joy.
¹³ The pastures are clothed with flocks;
The valleys also are covered over with grain;
They shout for joy, they also sing.

66 Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:
² Sing forth the glory of his name:
Make his praise glorious.
³ Say unto God, How terrible are thy works!
Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies ^[j]submit themselves unto thee.
⁴ All the earth shall worship thee,
And shall sing unto thee;
They shall sing to thy name. Selah
⁵ Come, and see the works of God;
He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
⁶ He turned the sea into dry land;
They went through the river on foot:
There ^[k]did we rejoice in him.
⁷ He ruleth by his might for ever;
His eyes observe the nations:
Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
⁸ Oh bless our God, ye peoples,
And make the voice of his praise to be heard;
⁹ Who ^[l]holdeth our soul in life,
And suffereth not our feet to be moved.
¹⁰ For thou, O God, hast proved us:
Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
¹¹ Thou broughtest us into the net;
Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.
¹² Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But thou broughtest us out into ^[m]a wealthy place.
¹³ I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings;
I will pay thee my vows,
¹⁴ Which my lips uttered,
And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.
¹⁵ I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,
With the incense of rams;
I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah
¹⁶ Come, and hear, all ye that fear God,
And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
¹⁷ I cried unto him with my mouth,
And ^[n]he was extolled with my tongue.
¹⁸ If I ^[o]regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord ^[p]will not hear:
¹⁹ But verily God hath heard;
He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
²⁰ Blessed be God,
Who hath not turned away my prayer,
Nor his lovingkindness from me.

67 God be merciful unto us, and bless us,
And cause his face to shine ^[q]upon us; Selah
² That thy way may be known upon earth,
Thy salvation among all nations.
³ Let the peoples ^[r]praise thee, O God;
Let all the peoples praise thee.
⁴ Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy;
For thou wilt judge the peoples with equity,
And ^[s]govern the nations upon earth. Selah
⁵ Let the peoples praise thee, O God;
Let all the peoples praise thee.
⁶ The earth hath yielded its increase:
God, even our own God, will bless us.
⁷ God will bless us;
And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

69 Save me, O God;
For the waters are come in unto my soul.
² I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing:
I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
³ I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried:
Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
⁴ They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head:
They that would cut me off, being mine enemies ^[b]wrongfully, are mighty:
That which I took not away I have to restore.
⁵ O God, thou knowest my foolishness;
And my ^[c]sins are not hid from thee.
⁶ Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts:
Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.
⁷ Because for thy sake I have borne reproach;
Shame hath covered my face.
⁸ I am become a stranger unto my brethren,
And an alien unto my mother’s children.
⁹ For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up;
And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.
¹⁰ When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting,
That was to my reproach.
¹¹ When I made sackcloth my clothing,
I became a byword unto them.
¹² They that sit in the gate talk of me;
And I am the song of the drunkards.
¹³ But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time:
O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness,
Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.
¹⁴ Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink:
Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
¹⁵ Let not the waterflood overwhelm me,
Neither let the deep swallow me up;
And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.
¹⁶ Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good:
According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.
¹⁷ And hide not thy face from thy servant;
For I am in distress; answer me speedily.
¹⁸ Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it:
Ransom me because of mine enemies.
¹⁹ Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor:
Mine adversaries are all before thee.
²⁰ Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am ^[d]full of heaviness:
And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;
And for comforters, but I found none.
²¹ They gave me also gall for my food;
And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
²² Let their table before them become a snare;
And when they are in peace, let it become a trap.
²³ Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see;
And make their loins continually to shake.
²⁴ Pour out thine indignation upon them,
And let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.
²⁵ Let their ^[e]habitation be desolate;
Let none dwell in their tents.
²⁶ For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten;
And they tell of the ^[f]sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.
²⁷ Add iniquity unto their iniquity;
And let them not come into thy righteousness.
²⁸ Let them be blotted out of the book of ^[g]life,
And not be written with the righteous.
²⁹ But I am poor and ^[h]sorrowful:
Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
³⁰ I will praise the name of God with a song,
And will magnify him with thanksgiving.
³¹ And it will please Jehovah better than an ox,
Or a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
³² The meek have seen it, and are glad:
Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.
³³ For Jehovah heareth the needy,
And despiseth not his prisoners.
³⁴ Let heaven and earth praise him,
The seas, and everything that moveth therein.
³⁵ For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah;
And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.
³⁶ The seed also of his servants shall inherit it;
And they that love his name shall dwell therein.

70 Make haste, O God, to deliver me;
Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.
² Let them be put to shame and confounded
That seek after my soul:
Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor
That delight in my hurt.
³ Let them be turned back ^[j]by reason of their shame
That say, Aha, aha.
⁴ Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee;
And let such as love thy salvation say continually,
Let God be magnified.
⁵ But I am poor and needy;
Make haste unto me, O God:
Thou art my help and my deliverer;
O Jehovah, make no tarrying.
