< Psalms 65 >

1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. A SONG. To You, silence [and] praise, O God, in Zion, And to You a vow is completed.
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions—You cover them.
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.
O the blessedness of [him whom] You choose, And draw near, he inhabits Your courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.
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:
By fearful things in righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off The ends of the earth and sea.
6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
Establishing mountains by His power, He has been girded with might,
7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult 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 uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts Are afraid from Your signs, You cause the outgoings of morning and evening to sing.
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 inspected the earth, and water it, You make it very rich, the stream of God [is] full of water, You prepare their grain, When thus You prepare it,
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
Its ridges have been filled, Its furrow has been deepened, You soften it with showers, Its springing up You bless.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
You have crowned the year of Your goodness, And Your paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
The pastures of a wilderness drop, And You gird the hills 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 meadows are clothed with the flock, And valleys are covered with grain, They shout—indeed, they sing!
