65 1 A praise and thanksgiving unto God by the faithful, who are signified by Zion, 4 For the choosing, preservation, and governance of them, 9 And for the plentiful blessings poured forth upon all the earth, but especially toward his Church.

To him that excelleth. A Psalm or song of David.

O God, [a]praise waiteth for thee in Zion, and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

Because thou hearest the prayer, unto thee shall all [b]flesh come.

Wicked deeds [c]have prevailed against me: but thou wilt be merciful unto our transgressions.
