< Psalms 65 >
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme or song of David. O God, praise waiteth for thee in Zion, and vnto thee shall the vowe be perfourmed.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” To thee belongeth trust, to thee praise, O God in Zion! And to thee shall the vow be performed!
2 Because thou hearest the prayer, vnto thee shall all flesh come.
O Thou that hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come!
3 Wicked deedes haue preuailed against me: but thou wilt be mercifull vnto our transgressions.
My iniquities are heavy upon me; But thou wilt forgive our transgressions!
4 Blessed is he, whom thou chusest and causest to come to thee: he shall dwell in thy courtes, and we shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thine House, euen of thine holy Temple.
Happy is he whom thou choosest, And bringest near thee to dwell in thy courts! May we be satisfied with the blessings of thy house, Thy holy temple!
5 O God of our saluation, thou wilt answere vs with fearefull signes in thy righteousnes, O thou the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are farre off in the sea.
By wonderful deeds dost thou answer us in thy goodness, O God, our salvation! Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the most distant seas!
6 He stablisheth the mountaines by his power: and is girded about with strength.
Thou makest fast the mountains by thy power, Being girded with strength!
7 He appeaseth the noyse of the seas and the noyse of the waues thereof, and the tumults of the people.
Thou stillest the roar of the sea, The roar of its waves, And the tumult of the nations.
8 They also, that dwell in the vttermost parts of the earth, shalbe afraide of thy signes: thou shalt make the East and the West to reioyce.
They who dwell in the ends of the earth are awed by thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to rejoice!
9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou makest it very riche: the Riuer of God is full of water: thou preparest them corne: for so thou appointest it.
Thou visitest the earth and waterest it; Thou enrichest it exceedingly; The river of God is full of water. Thou suppliest the earth with corn, When thou hast thus prepared it.
10 Thou waterest abundantly the furrowes thereof: thou causest the raine to descende into the valleies thereof: thou makest it soft with showres, and blessest the bud thereof.
Thou waterest its furrows, And breakest down its ridges; Thou makest it soft with showers, And blessest its increase.
11 Thou crownest ye yeere with thy goodnesse, and thy steppes droppe fatnesse.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; Thy footsteps drop fruitfulness;
12 They drop vpon the pastures of the wildernesse: and the hils shalbe compassed with gladnes.
They drop it upon the pastures of the wilderness, And the hills are girded with gladness.
13 The pastures are clad with sheepe: the valleis also shalbe couered with corne: therefore they shoute for ioye, and sing.
The pastures are clothed with flocks, And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout, yea, they sing for joy.
