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.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

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

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee 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, thou shalt 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] thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy 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 wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; [who art] the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off [upon] the sea:

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

Which by his strength setteth 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 stilleth 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 thy tokens: 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 visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, [which] is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

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

Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing 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,

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.
