Psalms 65
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.] Praise awaits you, God, in Zion. And to you shall vows be performed.
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
You who hear prayer, to you all men will come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: [as for] our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions.
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 the one you choose and bring near, that he may dwell in your courts. We will be filled 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 awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of every part of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea;
6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; [being] girded with power:
Who by his power forms the mountains, having armed yourself with strength;
7 Which stilleth 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 thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning's dawn and the evening with songs of joy.
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 corn, when thou hast 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 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy 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.
