Psalms 65
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled.
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 You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You.
O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.
3 When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.
The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.
4 Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your 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 With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.
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 You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.
Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:
7 You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.
Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,
8 Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.
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 You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for 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 You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.
Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.
11 You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty.
Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.
12 The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed 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, and the valleys are decked with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.
The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.
