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.
For the end, a Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise becomes you, O God, in Sion; and to you shall the vow be performed.
2 O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee doth all flesh come.
Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.
3 The tale of iniquities is too heavy for me; as for our transgressions, Thou wilt pardon them.
The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do you pardon our sins.
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 he] whom you have chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in your courts; we shall be filled with the good things of your house; your temple is holy.
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;
[You are] wonderful in righteousness. Listen to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them [that are] on the sea afar off:
6 Who by Thy strength settest fast the mountains, who art girded about with might;
who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;
7 Who stillest the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples;
who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
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.
The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends [of the earth] shall be afraid of your signs; you will cause the outgoings of 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 have visited the earth, and saturated it; you have abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; you have prepared their food, for thus is the preparation [of it].
10 Watering her ridges abundantly, settling down the furrows thereof, Thou makest her soft with showers; Thou blessest the growth thereof.
Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up shall rejoice in its drops.
11 Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drop fatness.
You will bless the crown of the year [because] of your goodness; and your plains shall be filled with fatness.
12 The pastures of the wilderness do drop; and the hills are girded with joy.
The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.
13 The meadows are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
The rams of the flock are clothed [with wool], and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yes they shall sing hymns.
