Psalms 65
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song. Praise waits for you, God, in Zion. Vows shall be performed to you.
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 You who hear prayer, all men will come to you.
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions.
Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.
4 Blessed is the one whom you choose and cause to come near, that he may live in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your 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 deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, of those who are far away on 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 By your power, you form the mountains, having armed yourself with strength.
Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power;
7 You still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
8 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.
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 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.
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 You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.
Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness:
12 The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with gladness.
13 The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed 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.
