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.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song. Praise waits for you, God, in Zion. Vows shall be performed to you.

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

You who hear prayer, all men will come to you.

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

Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions.

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 the one whom you choose and cause to come near, that he may live in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your 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 awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea.

6 who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;

By your power, you form the mountains, having armed yourself with strength.

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

You still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.

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.

They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning’s dawn and the evening with songs of joy.

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].

You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it.

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

You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.

11 You will bless the crown of the year [because] of your goodness; and your plains shall be filled with fatness.

You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.

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

The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed 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 pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed with grain. They shout for joy! They also sing.
