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.

For the end, a Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise becomes you, O God, in Sion; and to you shall the vow be performed.

2 O You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You.

Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.

3 When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.

The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do you pardon our sins.

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 you have chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in your courts; we shall be filled with the good things of your house; your temple is holy.

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.

[You are] wonderful in righteousness. Listen to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them [that are] on the sea afar off:

6 You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.

who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;

7 You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.

who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

8 Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.

The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends [of the earth] shall be afraid of your signs; you will cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.

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.

You have visited the earth, and saturated it; you have abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; you have prepared their food, for thus is the preparation [of it].

10 You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.

Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up shall rejoice in its drops.

11 You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty.

You will bless the crown of the year [because] of your goodness; and your plains shall be filled with fatness.

12 The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed with joy.

The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves 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 [with wool], and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yes they shall sing hymns.
