Pss.63
[1] O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in
a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
[2] To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in
the sanctuary.
[3] Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
[4] Thus will I
bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
[5] My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow
and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
[6] When I remember thee upon my bed, and
meditate on thee in the night watches.
[7] Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of
thy wings will I rejoice.
[8] My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
[9] But those
that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
[10] They shall fall by the sword: they
shall be a portion for foxes.
[11] But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall
glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
Pss.64
[1] Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
[2] Hide me from the
secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
[3] Who whet their tongue
like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
[4] That they may shoot in
secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
[5] They encourage themselves in an
evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
[6] They search out
iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart,
is deep.
[7] But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
[8] So they shall
make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
[9] And all men shall
fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
[10] The righteous
shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
Pss.65
[1] Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
[2] O thou that
hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
[3] Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions,
thou shalt purge them away.
[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, even of thy
holy temple.
[5] By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art
the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
[6] Which by his
strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
[7] Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the
noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
[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 with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest
them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
[10] Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest
the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
[11] Thou crownest
the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
[12] They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and
the little hills rejoice on every side.
[13] The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered
over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
Pss.66
[1] Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
[2] Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise
glorious.
[3] Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall
thine enemies 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 flood on foot: there did we
rejoice in him.
[7] He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt
themselves. Selah.
[8] O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
[9]
Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
[10] For thou, O God, hast proved
