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.

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

2 Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.

Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.

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

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

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 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.

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.

[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:

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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,

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].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
