Psalms 65

1 Praise waits for you, O God, in Sion: and unto you shall the vow be performed.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled.

2 O you that hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.

O You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You.

3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.

When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.

4 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.

Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your 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 far off upon the sea:

With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

6 Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:

You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.

7 Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.

8 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.

Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.

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.

You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for the earth.

10 You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.

You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.

11 You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.

You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty.

12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed with joy.

13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

The pastures are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are decked with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.
