Psalms 65

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

For the Leader. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Zion; and unto Thee the vow is performed.

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

O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee doth all flesh come.

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

The tale of iniquities is too heavy for me; as for our transgressions, Thou wilt pardon 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.

Happy is the man whom Thou choosest, and bringest near, that he may dwell in Thy courts; may we be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, the holy place of 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,

With wondrous works dost Thou answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; Thou the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the far distant seas;

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

Who by Thy strength settest fast the mountains, who art girded about with might;

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

Who stillest the roaring of the seas, the roaring 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.

So that they that dwell in the uttermost parts stand in awe of Thy signs; 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 remembered the earth, and watered her, greatly enriching her, with the river of God that is full of water; Thou preparest them corn, for so preparest Thou her.

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

Watering her ridges abundantly, settling down the furrows thereof, Thou makest her soft with showers; Thou blessest the growth 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.

The pastures of the wilderness do drop; and the hills are girded 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 meadows are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
