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.

Praise waits for you, O God, in Sion: and unto you shall the vow be performed.

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

O you that hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.

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

Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.

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,

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 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.

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

Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:

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

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 borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.

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, 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.

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

You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.

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

You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.

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

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

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