64:1Hear, O God, my voice, in my meditation, From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life,

64:2Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

64:3Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow -- a bitter word.

64:4To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.

64:5They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?'

64:6They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart are deep.

64:7And God doth shoot them with an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,

64:8And they cause him to stumble, Against them is their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.

64:9And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.

64:10The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!

65:0To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. A Song.

65:1To Thee, silence -- praise, O God, is in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.

65:2Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.

65:3Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions -- Thou dost cover them.

65:4O the happiness of him whom Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.

65:5By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.

65:6Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,

65:7Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.

65:8And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.

65:9Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God is full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,

65:10Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.

65:11Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.

65:12Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.

65:13Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout -- yea, they sing!

66:0To the Overseer. -- A Song, a Psalm.

66:1Shout ye to God, all the earth.

66:2Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.

66:3Say to God, `How fearful are Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

66:4All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.

66:5Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.

66:6He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.

66:7Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.

66:8Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,

66:9Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.

66:10For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

66:11Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.

66:12Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.

66:13I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

66:14For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:

66:15`Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.

66:16Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

66:17Unto Him with my mouth I have called, And exaltation is under my tongue.

66:18Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.

66:19But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

66:20Blessed is God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
