4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and receivest unto thee:
he shall dwell in thy court, and shall be satisfied with the
pleasures of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
5 Thou shalt shew us wonderful things in thy righteousness, O God
of our salvation: thou that art the hope of all the ends of the
earth, and of them that remain in the broad sea.
6 Who in his strength setteth fast the mountains: and is girded
about with power.
7 Who stilleth the raging of the sea: and the noise of his waves,
and the madness of the people.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth shall
be afraid at thy tokens: thou that makest the outgoings of the
morning and evening to praise thee.
9 Thou visitest the earth, and blessest it: thou makest it very
plenteous.
10 The river of God is full of water: thou preparest their corn,
for so thou providest for the earth.
11 Thou waterest her furrows, thou sendest rain into the little
valleys thereof: thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and
blessest the increase of it.
12 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness: and thy clouds drop
fatness.
13 They shall drop upon the dwellings of the wilderness: and the
little hills shall rejoice on every side.
14 The folds shall be full of sheep: the valleys also shall stand
so thick with corn, that they shall laugh and sing.
PSALM 66. _Jubilate Deo_.
O be joyful in God, all ye lands: sing praises unto the honour of
his Name, make his praise to be glorious.
2 Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou in thy works: through the
greatness of thy power shall thine enemies be found liars unto thee.
3 For all the world shall worship thee: sing of thee, and praise
thy Name.
4 O come hither, and behold the works of God: how wonderful he is
in his doing toward the children of men.
5 He turned the sea into dry land: so that they went through the
water on foot; there did we rejoice thereof.
6 He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes behold the people:
and such as will not believe shall not be able to exalt themselves.
7 O praise our God, ye people: and make the voice of his praise
to be heard;
8 Who holdeth our soul in life: and suffereth not our feet to
slip.
9 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou also hast tried us, like
as silver is tried.
10 Thou broughtest us into the snare: and laidest trouble upon our
loins.
11 Thou sufferedst men to ride over our heads: we went through
fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
12 I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings: and will pay
thee my vows, which I promised with my lips, and spake with my
mouth, when I was in trouble.
13 I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the incense
of rams: I will offer bullocks and goats.
14 O come hither, and hearken, all ye that fear God: and I will
tell you what he hath done for my soul.
151 called unto him with my mouth: and gave him praises with my
tongue.
16 If I incline unto wickedness with mine heart: the Lord will not
hear me.
