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 OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. A SONG. To You, silence [and] praise, O God, in Zion, And to You a vow is completed.

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

Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.

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

Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions—You cover 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,

O the blessedness of [him whom] You choose, And draw near, he inhabits Your courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Your house, 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 fearful things in righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off The ends of the earth and sea.

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

Establishing mountains by His power, He has been girded with might,

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

Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude 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.

And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts Are afraid from Your signs, You cause the outgoings of morning and evening to sing.

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 have inspected the earth, and water it, You make it very rich, the stream of God [is] full of water, You prepare their grain, When thus You prepare it,

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

Its ridges have been filled, Its furrow has been deepened, You soften it with showers, Its springing up You bless.

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

You have crowned the year of 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,

The pastures of a wilderness drop, And You gird the hills 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 the flock, And valleys are covered with grain, They shout—indeed, they sing!
