< Psalms 65 >
1 For the Leader. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Zion; and unto Thee the vow is performed.
Praise waits for you, O God, in Sion: and unto you shall the vow be performed.
2 O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee doth all flesh come.
O you that hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
3 The tale of iniquities is too heavy for me; as for our transgressions, Thou wilt pardon them.
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.
4 Happy is the man whom Thou choosest, and bringest near, that he may dwell in Thy courts; may we be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, the holy place of Thy temple!
Blessed is the man whom you choose, and cause to approach unto you, that he may dwell in your courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, even of your holy temple.
5 With wondrous works dost Thou answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; Thou the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the far distant seas;
By terrible things in righteousness will you answer us, O God of our salvation; who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are far off upon the sea:
6 Who by Thy strength settest fast the mountains, who art girded about with might;
Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 Who stillest the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples;
Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 So that they that dwell in the uttermost parts stand in awe of Thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at your tokens: you make the utmost limit of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 Thou hast remembered the earth, and watered her, greatly enriching her, with the river of God that is full of water; Thou preparest them corn, for so preparest Thou her.
You visit the earth, and water it: you greatly enrich it with the river of God, which is full of water: you prepare them corn, when you have so provided for it.
10 Watering her ridges abundantly, settling down the furrows thereof, Thou makest her soft with showers; Thou blessest the growth thereof.
You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.
11 Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drop fatness.
You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.
12 The pastures of the wilderness do drop; and the hills are girded with joy.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The meadows are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
