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.
Praise waiteth for thee, O Elohim, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
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 the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
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.
By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O Elohim of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.
Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,
Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.
They also 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 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.
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of Elohim, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.
Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
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 pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
