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 you, O God, in Sion: and to you shall the vow be performed.

2 Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.

O you that hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come.

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

Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.

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 you choose, and cause to approach to you, that he may dwell in your courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, even of your 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 will you answer us, O God of our salvation; who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off on the sea:

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

Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:

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

Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

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 that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at your tokens: you 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,

You visit the earth, and water it: you greatly enrich it with the river of God, which is full of water: you prepare them corn, when you have so provided for it.

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

You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.

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

You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.

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

They drop on the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

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 corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
