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. A psalm of David. A song. It is seemly to praise you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.
2 Because thou hearest the prayer, vnto thee shall all flesh come.
O you who hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
3 Wicked deedes haue preuailed against me: but thou wilt be mercifull vnto our transgressions.
Our sins are too mighty for us, our transgressions you only can cover them.
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 the person who you choose to live beside you in your courts. O may we be filled with the joys of your house, of your 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.
In dread deeds you loyally answer us, O God of our salvation, whom all ends of the earth put their trust in, and islands far away.
6 He stablisheth the mountaines by his power: and is girded about with strength.
By your strength you establish the hills, you are armed with might;
7 He appeaseth the noyse of the seas and the noyse of the waues thereof, and the tumults of the people.
you still the roaring of seas, and the turmoil of 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.
so that those who live at earth’s bounds are awed at your signs: the lands of the sunrise and sunset you make to ring with joy.
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.
You visit and water the earth; you greatly enrich her with the river of God, which is full of water. You prepare the corn thereof,
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.
watering her furrows, settling her ridges; you make her soft with showers, and bless what grows thereon.
11 Thou crownest ye yeere with thy goodnesse, and thy steppes droppe fatnesse.
You crown the year with your goodness, your chariot tracks drip with fatness.
12 They drop vpon the pastures of the wildernesse: and the hils shalbe compassed with gladnes.
The desert pastures are lush, the hills greened with joy.
13 The pastures are clad with sheepe: the valleis also shalbe couered with corne: therefore they shoute for ioye, and sing.
The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys are covered with corn; they shout to each other and sing.
