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 of David. A song. It is seemly to praise you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.

2 Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.

O you who hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.

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

Our sins are too mighty for us, our transgressions you only can cover 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 the person who you choose to live beside you in your courts. O may we be filled with the joys of your house, 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.

In dread deeds you loyally answer us, O God of our salvation, whom all ends of the earth put their trust in, and islands far away.

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

By your strength you establish the hills, you are armed with might;

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

you still the roaring of seas, and the turmoil 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.

so that those who live at earth’s bounds are awed at your signs: the lands of the sunrise and sunset you make to ring with joy.

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 and water the earth; you greatly enrich her with the river of God, which is full of water. You prepare the corn thereof,

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

watering her furrows, settling her ridges; you make her soft with showers, and bless what grows thereon.

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

You crown the year with your goodness, your chariot tracks drip with fatness.

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

The desert pastures are lush, the hills greened 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 are covered with corn; they shout to each other and sing.
