< 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.
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence — praise, O God, [is] in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.
2 Because thou hearest the prayer, vnto thee shall all flesh come.
Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.
3 Wicked deedes haue preuailed against me: but thou wilt be mercifull vnto our transgressions.
Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions — Thou dost 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.
O the happiness of [him whom] Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness 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 fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.
6 He stablisheth the mountaines by his power: and is girded about with strength.
Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,
7 He appeaseth the noyse of the seas and the noyse of the waues thereof, and the tumults of the people.
Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
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.
And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.
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 hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God [is] full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare 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.
Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.
11 Thou crownest ye yeere with thy goodnesse, and thy steppes droppe fatnesse.
Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.
12 They drop vpon the pastures of the wildernesse: and the hils shalbe compassed with gladnes.
Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
13 The pastures are clad with sheepe: the valleis also shalbe couered with corne: therefore they shoute for ioye, and sing.
Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout — yea, they sing!
