12, Psalm 65-67, Psalm 69-70

Psalm 65

1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. 2 I
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. 10 I
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. 4 I
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. 6 I
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: 4 I
6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power: 2 I
7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. 2 I
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. 6 I
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. 2 I
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. 2 I

 

Psalm 66

1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: 5 I
2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. 44 I
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. 2 I
5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. 2 I
6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. 3 I
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. 2 I
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: 6 I
9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. 2 I
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices 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. 1 I
17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. 2 I
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: 9 I
19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. 7 I

 

Psalm 67

1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. 10 I
2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. 4 I
3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. 4 I
7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. 8 I

 

Psalm 69

1 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 of 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 mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. 6 I
6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. 5 I
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 thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
13 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. 4 I
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. 4 I
15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Hear me, O Lord; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. 2 I
17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am 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 meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief 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 the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. 6 I
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. 4 I
31 This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. 2 I
32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. 8 I
33 For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. 4 I
34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. 4 I
35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell 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.

 

Psalm 70

1 Make haste, o God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord. 4 I
2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. 2 I
3 Let them be turned back for a reward 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. 12 I
5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying. 6 I
