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 Chief Musician. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 O You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You.
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
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 the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee], that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, the holy place of 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.
By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.
Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded about with might:
7 You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.
Which stilleth the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
8 Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the 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.
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it, thou greatly enrichest it; the river of God is full of water: thou providest them corn, when thou hast so prepared the earth.
10 You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.
Thou waterest her furrows abundantly; thou settlest the ridges thereof: thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed with joy.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the hills are girded with joy.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are decked with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
