Psalms 65

Psalms 65:3

Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

O God, they are our iniquities, that stand in the way of thy mercies, and prevail strongly against all the endeavours of my reformation; but, O Lord, do thou both mercifully forgive and powerfully remedy our offences.

Psalms 65:5

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God.

O God, thou, in thine infinite justice, wilt answer the prayers and supplications of thy Church, in marvellous deliverances, and in fearful plagues upon thine enemies.

Psalms 65:8

Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

Thou glorifiest thyself by the constant succession of the day and night; and causest all the inhabitants of the earth, from the sun rising to the setting of the sun, to rejoice and sing unto thee, for the great works that thou hast done.

Psalms 65:9

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water.

After a faint and barren drought, thou graciously condescendest to send down a fruitful rain, upon the face of the earth: thou greatly enrichest it with plentiful floods sent out from God, out of the clouds of heaven.
