Psalms 65

1 To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out. A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.

For the Leader. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Zion; and unto Thee the vow is performed.

2 O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.

O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee doth all flesh come.

3 The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.

The tale of iniquities is too heavy for me; as for our transgressions, Thou wilt pardon them.

4 Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,

Happy is the man whom Thou choosest, and bringest near, that he may dwell in Thy courts; may we be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, the holy place of Thy temple!

5 Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.

With wondrous works dost Thou answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; Thou the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the far distant seas;

6 Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:

Who by Thy strength settest fast the mountains, who art girded about with might;

7 Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,

Who stillest the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples;

8 And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.

So that they that dwell in the uttermost parts stand in awe of Thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

9 Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.

Thou hast remembered the earth, and watered her, greatly enriching her, with the river of God that is full of water; Thou preparest them corn, for so preparest Thou her.

10 Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.

Watering her ridges abundantly, settling down the furrows thereof, Thou makest her soft with showers; Thou blessest the growth thereof.

11 Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.

Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drop fatness.

12 The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy,

The pastures of the wilderness do drop; and the hills are girded with joy.

13 The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.

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