< 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.
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 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.
3 Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.
Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions — Thou dost cover them.
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.
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 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 fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.
6 Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power;
Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,
7 Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
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.
And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.
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:
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 Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.
Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness:
Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with gladness.
Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
13 The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout — yea, they sing!
