Psalm 65:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 Clothed in your great power,
you hold the mountains in place.[a]
8 You quiet the roaring of the seas,
the turbulence of their waves,
and the turmoil of the nations.[b]
9 Those who dwell at the ends of the earth
are awestruck by your wonders.[c]
You call forth songs of joy
from sunrise and sunset.
