Psalms 65
1 Praise waits for thee, O God, in Zion. And to thee the vow shall be performed.
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.] Praise awaits you, God, in Zion. And to you shall vows be performed.
2 O thou who hear prayer, to thee all flesh shall come.
You who hear prayer, to you all men will come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me. As for our transgressions, thou will forgive them.
Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for 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 the one you choose and bring near, that he may dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your 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 awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of every part of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea;
6 who by his strength sets firm the mountains, being girded about with might,
Who by his power forms the mountains, having armed yourself with strength;
7 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
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.
They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning's dawn and the evening with songs of joy.
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.
You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained 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.
You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.
11 Thou crown the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness.
You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with joy.
The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks. The valleys also are covered over with grain. They shout for joy; they also sing.
