Psalms 65

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song. Praise waiteth for thee in silence, O God, in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled.

2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

O You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You.

3 Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.

When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.

4 Blessed is he whom thou choosest and causest to approach: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, of thy holy temple.

Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.

5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of the sea. ...

With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

6 Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power;

You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.

7 Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.

You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.

8 And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens; thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.

9 Thou hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it:

You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for the earth.

10 Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.

You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.

11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness:

You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty.

12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with gladness.

The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed with joy.

13 The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.

The pastures are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are decked with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.
