Psalms 65

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” To thee belongeth trust, to thee praise, O God in Zion! And to thee shall the vow be performed!

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

O Thou that hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come!

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

My iniquities are heavy upon me; But thou wilt forgive 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.

Happy is he whom thou choosest, And bringest near thee to dwell in thy courts! May we be satisfied with the blessings of thy house, 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 wonderful deeds dost thou answer us in thy goodness, O God, our salvation! Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the most distant seas!

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

Thou makest fast the mountains by thy power, Being girded with strength!

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

Thou stillest the roar of the sea, The roar of its waves, And the tumult 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 who dwell in the ends of the earth are awed by thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and of the 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 visitest the earth and waterest it; Thou enrichest it exceedingly; The river of God is full of water. Thou suppliest the earth with corn, When thou hast thus 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 waterest its furrows, And breakest down its ridges; Thou makest it soft with showers, And blessest its increase.

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

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; Thy footsteps drop fruitfulness;

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

They drop it 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 pastures are clothed with flocks, And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout, yea, they sing for joy.
