Psalms 65

1 For the end, a Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise becomes you, O God, in Sion; and to you shall the vow be performed.

For the Leader. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Zion; and unto Thee the vow is performed.

2 Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.

O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee doth all flesh come.

3 The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do you pardon our sins.

The tale of iniquities is too heavy for me; as for our transgressions, Thou wilt pardon them.

4 Blessed [is he] whom you have chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in your courts; we shall be filled with the good things of your house; your temple is holy.

Happy is the man whom Thou choosest, and bringest near, that he may dwell in Thy courts; may we be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, the holy place of Thy temple!

5 [You are] wonderful in righteousness. Listen to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them [that are] on the sea afar off:

With wondrous works dost Thou answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; Thou the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the far distant seas;

6 who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;

Who by Thy strength settest fast the mountains, who art girded about with might;

7 who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

Who stillest the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples;

8 The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends [of the earth] shall be afraid of your signs; you will cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.

So that they that dwell in the uttermost parts stand in awe of Thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

9 You have visited the earth, and saturated it; you have abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; you have prepared their food, for thus is the preparation [of it].

Thou hast remembered the earth, and watered her, greatly enriching her, with the river of God that is full of water; Thou preparest them corn, for so preparest Thou her.

10 Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up shall rejoice in its drops.

Watering her ridges abundantly, settling down the furrows thereof, Thou makest her soft with showers; Thou blessest the growth thereof.

11 You will bless the crown of the year [because] of your goodness; and your plains shall be filled with fatness.

Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drop fatness.

12 The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.

The pastures of the wilderness do drop; and the hills are girded with joy.

13 The rams of the flock are clothed [with wool], and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yes they shall sing hymns.

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