Jubilate Deo.

An invitation to praise G.o.d.

65:1. Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection. Shout with joy to G.o.d, all the earth,

65:2. Sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.

65:3. Say unto G.o.d, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the mult.i.tude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.

65:4. Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.

65:5. Come and see the works of G.o.d; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

65:6. Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pa.s.s on foot: there shall we rejoice in him.

65:7. Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves.

65:8. O bless our G.o.d, ye Gentiles: and make the voice of his praise to be heard.

65:9. Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:

65:10. For thou, O G.o.d, hast proved us: thou hast tried us by fire, as silver is tried.

65:11. Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:

65:12. Thou hast set men over our heads. We have pa.s.sed through fire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.

65:13. I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

65:14. Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

65:15. I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.

65:16. Come and hear, all ye that fear G.o.d, and I will tell you what great things he hath done for my soul.

65:17. I cried to him with my mouth: and I extolled him with my tongue.

65:18. If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

65:19. Therefore hath G.o.d heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.

65:20. Blessed be G.o.d, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
