Psalms 65
1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall the vow be 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 shall all flesh come.
Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do you pardon our sins.
4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy 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 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
[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 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;
7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: 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 visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them grain, when thou hast so provided for it.
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 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing 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 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with grain; they shout for joy, they also 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.
