< Psalms 65 >
1 Praise waits for you, O God, in Sion: and unto you shall the vow be performed.
Tehilah ·Praise song· waits for you, God, in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. To you shall vows be performed.
2 O you that hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
You who sh'ma ·hear obey· prayer, to you all men will come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.
Sins and depravities (moral evils) overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our rebellious breaches of relationships.
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 one whom you choose, and cause to come near, that he may live in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your 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 awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our yesha' ·salvation·. You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea;
6 Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:
Who by his power forms the mountains, having armed yourself with strength;
7 Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil 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 also who dwell in far away places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning’s dawn and the evening with songs of 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 visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it.
10 You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.
You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.
11 You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.
You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed 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 covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed with grain. They shout for joy! They also sing.
