< 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 Leader. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Zion; and unto Thee the vow is performed.
2 Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.
O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee doth all flesh come.
3 Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions—You cover them.
The tale of iniquities is too heavy for me; as for our transgressions, Thou wilt pardon 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.
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 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.
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 Establishing mountains by His power, He has been girded with might,
Who by Thy strength settest fast the mountains, who art girded about with might;
7 Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
Who stillest 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.
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 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 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 Its ridges have been filled, Its furrow has been deepened, You soften it with showers, Its springing up You bless.
Watering her ridges abundantly, settling down the furrows thereof, Thou makest her soft with showers; Thou blessest the growth 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.
The pastures of the wilderness do drop; 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 meadows are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
