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 Thee, silence — praise, O God, [is] in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.
2 Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.
Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.
3 Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.
Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions — Thou dost 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 happiness of [him whom] Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, 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 fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.
6 You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.
Establishing mountains by His power, He hath 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 From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest 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.
Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God [is] full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,
10 Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.
Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.
11 You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.
Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.
12 The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.
Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
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.
Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout — yea, they sing!
