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.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song. Praise waiteth for thee in silence, O God, in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

2 Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

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

Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt 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 he whom thou choosest and causest to approach: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, of 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 terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of the sea. ...

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

Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power;

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

Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging 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.

And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens; thou makest 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 hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it:

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

Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.

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

Thou crownest 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 gladness.

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

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