< 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.
Praise waits for you, O God, in Sion: and unto you shall the vow be performed.
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
O you that hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.
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 man whom you choose, and cause to approach unto you, that he may dwell in your courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, even of your holy 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. ...
By terrible things in righteousness will you answer us, O God of our salvation; who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are far off upon the sea:
6 Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power;
Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
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.
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at your tokens: you make the utmost limit of the morning and evening to rejoice.
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 visit the earth, and water it: you greatly enrich it with the river of God, which is full of water: you prepare them corn, when you have so provided for it.
10 Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.
You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness:
You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with gladness.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
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; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
