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.
For the leader. A psalm of David. A song. It is seemly to praise you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.
2 Hear my prayer; to thee all flesh shall come.
O you who hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
3 The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do thou pardon our sins.
Our sins are too mighty for us, our transgressions you only can 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.
Happy the person who you choose to live beside you in your courts. O may we be filled with the joys of your house, of 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:
In dread deeds you loyally answer us, O God of our salvation, whom all ends of the earth put their trust in, and islands far away.
6 who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about with power;
By your strength you establish the hills, you are armed with might;
7 who troublest the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
you still the roaring of seas, and the turmoil of nations,
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.
so that those who live at earth’s bounds are awed at your signs: the lands of the sunrise and sunset you make to ring with joy.
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 visit and water the earth; you greatly enrich her with the river of God, which is full of water. You prepare the corn thereof,
10 Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up shall rejoice in its drops.
watering her furrows, settling her ridges; you make her soft with showers, and bless what grows thereon.
11 Thou wilt bless the crown of the year [because] of thy goodness; and thy plains shall be filled with fatness.
You crown the year with your goodness, your chariot tracks drip with fatness.
12 The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.
The desert pastures are lush, the hills greened 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 flocks, the valleys are covered with corn; they shout to each other and sing.
