Psalms 65

1 Praise waits for thee, O God, in Zion. And to thee the vow shall be performed.

To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out. A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.

2 O thou who hear prayer, to thee all flesh shall come.

O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.

3 Iniquities prevail against me. As for our transgressions, thou will forgive them.

The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.

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 hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy 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,

Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.

6 who by his strength sets firm the mountains, being girded about with might,

Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:

7 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.

Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,

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 borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.

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, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.

10 Thou water its furrows abundantly. Thou settle the ridges of it. Thou make it soft with showers. Thou bless the springing of it.

Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.

11 Thou crown the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness.

Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.

12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with joy.

The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy,

13 The pastures are clothed with flocks. The valleys also are covered over with grain. They shout for joy; they also sing.

The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.
