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.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. A SONG. To You, silence [and] praise, O God, in Zion, And to You a vow is completed.

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

Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.

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

Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions—You cover them.

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:

O the blessedness of [him whom] You choose, And draw near, he inhabits Your courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your 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 fearful things in righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off The ends of the earth and sea.

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

Establishing mountains by His power, He has been girded with might,

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

Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.

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

And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts Are afraid from Your signs, You cause the outgoings of morning and evening to sing.

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 inspected the earth, and water it, You make it very rich, the stream of God [is] full of water, You prepare their grain, When thus You prepare it,

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

Its ridges have been filled, Its furrow has been deepened, You soften it with showers, Its springing up You bless.

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

You have crowned the year of Your goodness, And Your paths drop fatness.

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

The pastures of a wilderness drop, And You gird the hills 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 meadows are clothed with the flock, And valleys are covered with grain, They shout—indeed, they sing!
