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 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 Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.
O Thou that hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come!
3 The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do you pardon our sins.
My iniquities are heavy upon me; But thou wilt forgive our transgressions!
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 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 [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:
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 who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;
Thou makest fast the mountains by thy power, Being girded with strength!
7 who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
Thou stillest the roar of the sea, The roar of its waves, And the tumult of the nations.
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.
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 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 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 Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up shall rejoice in its drops.
Thou waterest its furrows, And breakest down its ridges; Thou makest it soft with showers, And blessest its increase.
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; Thy footsteps drop fruitfulness;
12 The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.
They drop it upon the pastures of the wilderness, And the hills are girded with gladness.
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 pastures are clothed with flocks, And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout, yea, they sing for joy.
