Psalm 65:5–93 matched frames1 pivot

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation;
    • B 5 who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
      • C 5 and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
        • D 6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
      • C' 7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
    • B' 8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
  • A' 9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
