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.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. A SONG. To You, silence [and] praise, O God, in Zion, And to You a vow is completed.

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

Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.

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

Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions—You cover 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.

O the blessedness of [him whom] You choose, And draw near, he inhabits Your courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your 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 fearful things in righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off The ends of the earth and sea.

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

Establishing mountains by His power, He has been girded with might,

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

Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude 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.

And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts Are afraid from Your signs, You cause the outgoings of morning and evening to sing.

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].

You have inspected the earth, and water it, You make it very rich, the stream of God [is] full of water, You prepare their grain, When thus You prepare it,

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

Its ridges have been filled, Its furrow has been deepened, You soften it with showers, Its springing up You bless.

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

You have crowned the year of Your goodness, And Your paths drop fatness.

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

The pastures of a wilderness drop, And You gird the hills 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 meadows are clothed with the flock, And valleys are covered with grain, They shout—indeed, they sing!
