PSALME 65.

A Prayer for spirituall blessings, and for fruit∣fulnesse of the earth.

THou, O God, art praised in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.

2 Thou that hearest the prayer: unto thee shall all flesh come.

3 My misdeeds prevail against me: O be thou mercifull unto our sins.

4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest and receivest unto thee: he shall dwell in thy Court, and shall be sa∣tisfied with the pleasures of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

5 Thou shalt shew us wonderfull things in thy righte∣ousnesse, O God of our salvation: thou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that remain in the broad sea.

6 Which in his strength setteth fast the mountains: and is girded about with power.

7 Which stilleth the raging of the sea: and the noise of his waves, and the madnesse of his people.

8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth, shall be afraid at thy tokens: thou that makest the out-goings of the morning and evening to praise thee.

9 Thou visitest the earth, and blessest it: thou makest it very plenteous.

10 The river of God is full of water: thou preparest their corn, for so thou providest for the earth.

11 Thou waterest her furrows, thou sendest rain into the little valleys thereof: thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and blessest the increase of it.

12 Thou crownest the year with thy goodnesse: and thy clouds drop fatnesse.

13 They shall drop upon the dwellings of the wilder∣nesse: and the little hils shall rejoyce on every side.

14 The folds shall be full of sheep: the valleys also shall stand so thick with corn, that they shall laugh and sing.

The Prayer.

O God the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that remaine in the broad sea, be thou mercifull unto our sinnes, and let not our misdeeds prevail against us, so as ei∣ther to make us habitually sinfull, or endlesly miserable, but give us the blessings of thy chosen; let us receive the influences of thy graces and benediction, by the participation of thy Word and Sacraments in thy holy tem∣ple. And as thou embracest us with thy right hand, shewing us wonderfull things in thy righteousnesse and salvation, so let thy left hand be under our heads, and give us such a portion of temporall blessings, as shall be ne∣cessary for us. Make the earth plenteous, and blesse the increase of it, crown the yeare with goodnesse, and let the clouds drop fatnesse, that the valleys standing thick with corn, may laugh and sing thy praises, and that we being refreshed with the multitude of thy blessings, may praise thee in Sion, and at last be satisfied with the pleasures of thy house in the celestiall Jerusalem, where thou livest and reignest, one God world without end. Amen.
