Psalms 65

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. A SONG. To You, silence [and] praise, O God, in Zion, And to You a vow is completed.

Praise waits for thee, O God, in Zion. And to thee the vow shall be performed.

2 Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.

O thou who hear prayer, to thee all flesh shall come.

3 Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions—You cover them.

Iniquities prevail against me. As for our transgressions, thou will forgive them.

4 O the blessedness of [him whom] You choose, And draw near, he inhabits Your courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.

Blessed is the man whom thou choose and cause to approach, that he may dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, thy holy temple.

5 By fearful things in righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off The ends of the earth and sea.

By awesome things thou will answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, thou who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of those who are afar off upon the sea,

6 Establishing mountains by His power, He has been girded with might,

who by his strength sets firm the mountains, being girded about with might,

7 Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.

who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.

8 And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts Are afraid from Your signs, You cause the outgoings of morning and evening to sing.

They also who dwell in the outermost parts are afraid at thy signs. Thou make the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

9 You have inspected the earth, and water it, You make it very rich, the stream of God [is] full of water, You prepare their grain, When thus You prepare it,

Thou visit the earth, and water it; thou greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. Thou provide them grain when thou have so prepared the earth.

10 Its ridges have been filled, Its furrow has been deepened, You soften it with showers, Its springing up You bless.

Thou water its furrows abundantly. Thou settle the ridges of it. Thou make it soft with showers. Thou bless the springing of it.

11 You have crowned the year of Your goodness, And Your paths drop fatness.

Thou crown the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness.

12 The pastures of a wilderness drop, And You gird the hills with joy.

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with joy.

13 The meadows are clothed with the flock, And valleys are covered with grain, They shout—indeed, they sing!

The pastures are clothed with flocks. The valleys also are covered over with grain. They shout for joy; they also sing.
