64:8. Turbabúntur gentes, et timébunt qui hábitant términos a signis tuis : * éxitus matutíni, et véspere delectábis. 8. The Gentiles shall be troubled, and they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: * thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.

64:11. Rivos ejus inébria, multíplica genímina ejus : * in stillicídiis ejus lætábitur gérminans. 11. Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; * it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.
64:12. Benedíces corónæ anni benignitátis tuæ : * et campi tui replebúntur ubertáte. 12. Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: * and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.
64:13. Pinguéscent speciósa desérti : * et exsultatióne colles accingéntur. 13. The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: * and the hills shall be girded about with joy.
64:14. Indúti sunt aríetes óvium, et valles abundábunt fruménto : * clamábunt, étenim hymnum dicent. 14. The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: * they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.
V. Réquiem aetérnam * dona eis mine. V. Eternal rest * grant unto them, O Lord.
R. Et lux pertua *ceat eis. R. And let perpetual light * shine upon them.
