< Psalms 65 >
1 Praise waits for thee, O God, in Zion. And to thee the vow shall be performed.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song. Praise waiteth for thee in silence, O God, in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 O thou who hear prayer, to thee all flesh shall come.
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me. As for our transgressions, thou will forgive them.
Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.
4 Blessed is the man whom thou choose and cause to approach, that he may dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, thy holy temple.
Blessed is he whom thou choosest and causest to approach: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, of thy holy temple.
5 By awesome things thou will answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, thou who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of those who are afar off upon the sea,
By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of the sea. ...
6 who by his strength sets firm the mountains, being girded about with might,
Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power;
7 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
8 They also who dwell in the outermost parts are afraid at thy signs. Thou make the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens; thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 Thou visit the earth, and water it; thou greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. Thou provide them grain when thou have so prepared the earth.
Thou hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it:
10 Thou water its furrows abundantly. Thou settle the ridges of it. Thou make it soft with showers. Thou bless the springing of it.
Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 Thou crown the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness:
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with joy.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with gladness.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks. The valleys also are covered over with grain. They shout for joy; they also sing.
The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
