Psalmorum 65

1 In finem, Psalmus David, Canticum Hieremiæ, et Ezechielis populo transmigrationis, cum inciperent exire. Te decet hymnus Deus in Sion: et tibi reddetur votum in Ierusalem.

For the leader. A psalm of David. A song. It is seemly to praise you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.

2 Exaudi orationem meam: ad te omnis caro veniet.

O you who hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.

3 Verba iniquorum prævaluerunt super nos: et impietatibus nostris tu propitiaberis.

Our sins are too mighty for us, our transgressions you only can cover them.

4 Beatus, quem elegisti, et assumpsisti: inhabitabit in atriis tuis. Replebimur in bonis domus tuæ: sanctum est templum tuum,

Happy the person who you choose to live beside you in your courts. O may we be filled with the joys of your house, of your holy temple.

5 mirabile in æquitate. Exaudi nos Deus salutaris noster, spes omnium finium terræ, et in mari longe.

In dread deeds you loyally answer us, O God of our salvation, whom all ends of the earth put their trust in, and islands far away.

6 Præparans montes in virtute tua, accinctus potentia:

By your strength you establish the hills, you are armed with might;

7 qui conturbas profundum maris sonum fluctuum eius. Turbabuntur gentes,

you still the roaring of seas, and the turmoil of nations,

8 et timebunt qui habitant terminos a signis tuis: exitus matutini et vespere delectabis.

so that those who live at earth’s bounds are awed at your signs: the lands of the sunrise and sunset you make to ring with joy.

9 Visitasti terram et inebriasti eam: multiplicasti locupletare eam. Flumen Dei repletum est aquis, parasti cibum illorum: quoniam ita est præparatio eius.

You visit and water the earth; you greatly enrich her with the river of God, which is full of water. You prepare the corn thereof,

10 Rivos eius inebria, multiplica genimina eius: in stillicidiis eius lætabitur germinans.

watering her furrows, settling her ridges; you make her soft with showers, and bless what grows thereon.

11 Benedices coronæ anni benignitatis tuæ: et campi tui replebuntur ubertate.

You crown the year with your goodness, your chariot tracks drip with fatness.

12 Pinguescent speciosa deserti: et exultatione colles accingentur.

The desert pastures are lush, the hills greened with joy.

13 Induti sunt arietes ovium, et valles abundabunt frumento: clamabunt, etenim hymnum dicent.

The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys are covered with corn; they shout to each other and sing.
