Psalms 65

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile. O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.

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

2 Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.

Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.

3 Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.

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

4 Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:

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.

5 wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.

[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:

6 You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.

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

7 You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,

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

8 and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.

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.

9 You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.

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].

10 Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.

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

11 You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.

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

12 The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.

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

13 The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.

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.
