Psalms 65

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

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

2 Hear my prayer; to thee all flesh shall come.

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

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

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

4 Blessed [is he] whom thou hast chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in thy courts; we shall be filled with the good things of thy house; thy temple is holy.

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.

5 [Thou art] wonderful in righteousness. Hearken 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:

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,

6 who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about with power;

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

7 who troublest the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

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

8 The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends [of the earth] shall be afraid of thy signs; thou wilt cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.

They also who dwell in the outermost parts are afraid at thy signs. Thou make the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

9 Thou hast visited the earth, and saturated it; thou hast abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; thou hast prepared their food, for thus is the preparation [of it].

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.

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

Thou water its furrows abundantly. Thou settle the ridges of it. Thou make it soft with showers. Thou bless the springing of it.

11 Thou wilt bless the crown of the year [because] of thy goodness; and thy plains shall be filled with fatness.

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

12 The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.

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

13 The rams of the flock are clothed [with wool], and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yea they shall sing hymns.

The pastures are clothed with flocks. The valleys also are covered over with grain. They shout for joy; they also sing.
