< 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 of the music. A psalm of David.” To thee belongeth trust, to thee praise, O God in Zion! And to thee shall the vow be performed!
2 Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.
O Thou that hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come!
3 Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions—You cover them.
My iniquities are heavy upon me; But thou wilt forgive our transgressions!
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 bringest near thee to dwell in thy courts! May we be satisfied with the blessings of thy house, 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 wonderful deeds dost thou answer us in thy goodness, O God, our salvation! Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the most distant seas!
6 Establishing mountains by His power, He has been girded with might,
Thou makest fast the mountains by thy power, Being girded with strength!
7 Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
Thou stillest the roar of the sea, The roar of its waves, And the tumult of the nations.
8 And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts Are afraid from Your signs, You cause the outgoings of morning and evening to sing.
They who dwell in the ends of the earth are awed by thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and of the 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 visitest the earth and waterest it; Thou enrichest it exceedingly; The river of God is full of water. Thou suppliest the earth with corn, When thou hast thus prepared it.
10 Its ridges have been filled, Its furrow has been deepened, You soften it with showers, Its springing up You bless.
Thou waterest its furrows, And breakest down its ridges; Thou makest it soft with showers, And blessest its increase.
11 You have crowned the year of Your goodness, And Your paths drop fatness.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; Thy footsteps drop fruitfulness;
12 The pastures of a wilderness drop, And You gird the hills with joy.
They drop it 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 pastures are clothed with flocks, And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout, yea, they sing for joy.
