< Psalms 65 >

1 For the end, a Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise becomes you, O God, in Sion; and to you shall the vow be performed.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song. Praise waiteth for thee in silence, O God, in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do you pardon our sins.
Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.
4 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.
Blessed is he whom thou choosest and causest to approach: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, of thy holy temple.
5 [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:
By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of the sea. ...
6 who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;
Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power;
7 who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging 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 your signs; you will cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.
And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens; thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 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].
Thou hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it:
10 Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up shall rejoice in its drops.
Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 You will bless the crown of the year [because] of your goodness; and your plains shall be filled with fatness.
Thou crownest 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 gladness.
13 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.
The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
