Tehillim, starting at chapter 64
Psalm 64
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
{64:1} Hear my voice, God, in my complaint.
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
{64:2} Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
From the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
{64:3} Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
And aim their arrows, deadly words,
{64:4} To shoot innocent men from ambushes.
They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
{64:5} They encourage themselves in evil plans.
They talk about laying snares secretly.
They say, "Who will see them?"
{64:6} They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!"
Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.
{64:7} But God will shoot at them.
They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
{64:8} Their own tongues shall ruin them.
All who see them will shake their heads.
{64:9} All mankind shall be afraid.
They shall declare the work of God,
And shall wisely ponder what he has done.
{64:10} The righteous shall be glad in the LORD,
And shall take refuge in him.
All the upright in heart shall praise him!
Psalm 65
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.
{65:1} Praise waits for you, God, in Tziyon.
To you shall vows be performed.
{65:2} You who hear prayer,
To you all men will come.
{65:3} Sins overwhelmed me,
But you atoned for our transgressions.
{65:4} Blessed is one whom you choose, and cause to come near,
That he may live in your courts.
We will be filled with the goodness of your house,
Your holy temple.
{65:5} By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us,
God of our salvation.
You who are the hope of all the ends of the [1>]eretz[<1],
Of those who are far away on the sea;
{65:6} Who by his power forms the mountains,
Having armed yourself with strength;
{65:7} Who stills the roaring of the seas,
The roaring of their waves,
And the turmoil of the nations.
{65:8} They also who dwell in far-away places are afraid at your
wonders.
You call the morning's dawn and the evening with songs of joy.
{65:9} You visit the [2>]eretz[<2], and water it.
You greatly enrich it.
The river of God is full of water.
You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it.
{65:10} You drench its furrows.
You level its ridges.
You soften it with showers.
You bless it with a crop.
{65:11} You crown the year with your bounty.
Your carts overflow with abundance.
{65:12} The wilderness grasslands overflow.
The hills are clothed with gladness.
{65:13} The pastures are covered with flocks.
The valleys also are clothed with grain.
They shout for joy!
They also sing.
Psalm 66
For the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm.
{66:1} Make a joyful shout to God, all the [1>]eretz[<1]!
{66:2} Sing to the glory of his name!
Offer glory and praise!
{66:3} Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds!
Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves
to you.
{66:4} All the [2>]eretz[<2] will worship you,
And will sing to you;
They will sing to your name."
Selah.
{66:5} Come, and see God's deeds--
Awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
{66:6} He turned the sea into dry land.
They went through the river on foot.
There, we rejoiced in him.
{66:7} He rules by his might forever.
His eyes watch the nations.
Don't let the rebellious rise up against him.
Selah.
{66:8} Praise our God, you peoples!
Make the sound of his praise heard,
{66:9} Who preserves our life among the living,
And doesn't allow our feet to be moved.
{66:10} For you, God, have tested us.
You have refined us, as silver is refined.
{66:11} You brought us into prison.
You laid a burden on our backs.
{66:12} You allowed men to ride over our heads.
We went through fire and through water,
But you brought us to the place of abundance.
{66:13} I will come into your temple with burnt offerings.
I will pay my vows to you, {66:14} which my lips promised,
And my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
{66:15} I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals,
With the offering of rams,
I will offer bulls with goats.
Selah.
{66:16} Come, and hear, all you who fear God.
I will declare what he has done for my soul.
{66:17} I cried to him with my mouth.
He was extolled with my tongue.
{66:18} If I cherished sin in my heart,
The Lord wouldn't have listened.
{66:19} But most assuredly, God has listened.
He has heard the voice of my prayer.
{66:20} Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor his loving kindness from me.
