| Chapter 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,
|
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.
