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 [and] song of David.” For thee praise is waiting, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall vows be paid.

2 Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.

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

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

The iniquitous things have become too mighty for me: our transgressions—these wilt thou wipe 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.

Happy is he whom thou choosest, and causest to approach, that he may dwell in thy courts: let us be satisfied with the happiness of thy house, the holiness 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 terrific deeds in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the sea, that are far away;

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

Who setteth firmly the mountains by his power, who is girded with might;

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

Who assuageth the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of nations.

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 of thy wondrous signs: the outgoings of the morning and evening thou causest 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 thought of the earth, and waterest her abundantly; thou greatly enrichest her; the brook of God is full of water: thou preparest their corn, when thou hast thus prepared her.

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

Watering her furrows abundantly, smoothing down her ridges, thou softenest her with showers; thou blessest her growth.

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

Thou hast crowned the year of thy goodness; and thy tracks drop fatness:

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

The pastures of the wilderness are dropping [with plenty]: and the hills are girt 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 enveloped with corn: men shout for joy, [yea, ] they also sing.
