8He will make them trip over their tongues, *
and all who see them will shake their heads.
9Everyone will stand in awe and declare God’s deeds; *
they will recognize his works.
10The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and put their trust in him, *
and all who are true of heart will glory.
Twelfth Day: Evening Prayer
65Te decet hymnus
1You are to be praised, O God, in Zion; *
to you shall vows be performed in Jerusalem.
2To you that hear prayer shall all flesh come, *
because of their transgressions.
3Our sins are stronger than we are, *
but you will blot them out.
4Happy are they whom you choose
and draw to your courts to dwell there! *
they will be satisfied by the beauty of your house,
by the holiness of your temple.
5Awesome things will you show us in your righteousness,
O God of our salvation, *
O Hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the seas that are far away.
6You make fast the mountains by your power; *
they are girded about with might.
7You still the roaring of the seas, *
the roaring of their waves,
and the clamor of the peoples.
672Psalm 65
