## Psalm 64 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile.
2. O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.
3. Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.
4. Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.
5. Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:
6. wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.
7. You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.
8. You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,
9. and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.
10. You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.
11. Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.
12. You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.
13. The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.
14. The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.

## Psalm 64 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. In finem. Psalmus David, canticum Jeremiæ et Ezechielis populo transmigrationis, cum inciperent exire.
2. Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion, et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem.
3. Exaudi orationem meam; ad te omnis caro veniet.
4. Verba iniquorum prævaluerunt super nos, et impietatibus nostris tu propitiaberis.
5. Beatus quem elegisti et assumpsisti: inhabitabit in atriis tuis. Replebimur in bonis domus tuæ; sanctum est templum tuum,
6. mirabile in æquitate. Exaudi nos, Deus, salutaris noster, spes omnium finium terræ, et in mari longe.
7. Præparans montes in virtute tua, accinctus potentia;
8. qui conturbas profundum maris, sonum fluctuum ejus. Turbabuntur gentes,
9. et timebunt qui habitant terminos a signis tuis; exitus matutini et vespere delectabis.
10. Visitasti terram, et inebriasti eam; multiplicasti locupletare eam. Flumen Dei repletum est aquis; parasti cibum illorum: quoniam ita est præparatio ejus.
11. Rivos ejus inebria; multiplica genimina ejus: in stillicidiis ejus lætabitur germinans.
12. Benedices coronæ anni benignitatis tuæ, et campi tui replebuntur ubertate.
13. Pinguescent speciosa deserti, et exsultatione colles accingentur.
14. Induti sunt arietes ovium, et valles abundabunt frumento; clamabunt, etenim hymnum dicent.

## Bishop Challoner's notes

Bp. Richard Challoner, notes on the Douay-Rheims (1750); they comment on its older wording.
- Verse 1: “Of the captivity” … That is, the people of the captivity of Babylon. This is not in the Hebrew, but is found in the ancient translation of the Septuagint.
