Glorifying GodPsalm 65:1-5

God Strengthens His People1 There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion,

O God,And to You the vow will be performed.

2 O You who hear prayer,To You all men come.

3 Iniquities prevail against me;As for our transgressions, You forgive them.

4 How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to YouTo dwell in Your courts.We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,Your holy temple.

5 By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation,You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil con-science and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;
