Psalms 65
1 Praise waits for you, O God, in Sion: and unto you shall the vow be performed.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” To thee belongeth trust, to thee praise, O God in Zion! And to thee shall the vow be performed!
2 O you that hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
O Thou that hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come!
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.
My iniquities are heavy upon me; But thou wilt forgive 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.
Happy is he whom thou choosest, And bringest near thee to dwell in thy courts! May we be satisfied with the blessings of thy house, Thy holy 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:
By wonderful deeds dost thou answer us in thy goodness, O God, our salvation! Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the most distant seas!
6 Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:
Thou makest fast the mountains by thy power, Being girded with strength!
7 Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
Thou stillest the roar of the sea, The roar of its 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.
They who dwell in the ends of the earth are awed by thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and of the evening 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 visitest the earth and waterest it; Thou enrichest it exceedingly; The river of God is full of water. Thou suppliest the earth with corn, When thou hast thus prepared it.
10 You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.
Thou waterest its furrows, And breakest down its ridges; Thou makest it soft with showers, And blessest its increase.
11 You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; Thy footsteps drop fruitfulness;
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
They drop it upon the pastures of the wilderness, And the hills are girded 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 pastures are clothed with flocks, And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout, yea, they sing for joy.
