Psalms 65
1 Praise waits for you, O God, in Sion: and to you shall the vow be performed.
“To the chief musician, a psalm [and] song of David.” For thee praise is waiting, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall vows be paid.
2 O you that hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come.
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee all flesh shall come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.
The iniquitous things have become too mighty for me: our transgressions—these wilt thou wipe away.
4 Blessed is the man whom you choose, and cause to approach to you, that he may dwell in your courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, even of your holy temple.
Happy is he whom thou choosest, and causest to approach, that he may dwell in thy courts: let us be satisfied with the happiness of thy house, the holiness of thy temple.
5 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 afar off on the sea:
With terrific deeds in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the sea, that are far away;
6 Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:
Who setteth firmly the mountains by his power, who is girded with might;
7 Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
Who assuageth the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of nations.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at your tokens: you make the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid of thy wondrous signs: the outgoings of the morning and evening thou causest to rejoice.
9 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.
Thou hast thought of the earth, and waterest her abundantly; thou greatly enrichest her; the brook of God is full of water: thou preparest their corn, when thou hast thus prepared her.
10 You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.
Watering her furrows abundantly, smoothing down her ridges, thou softenest her with showers; thou blessest her growth.
11 You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.
Thou hast crowned the year of thy goodness; and thy tracks drop fatness:
12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
The pastures of the wilderness are dropping [with plenty]: and the hills are girt with gladness.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are enveloped with corn: men shout for joy, [yea, ] they also sing.
