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 Chief Musician. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

2 Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee 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, thou shalt 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 thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee], that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall 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.

By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

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

Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded about with might:

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

Which stilleth 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.

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: 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 visitest the earth, and waterest it, thou greatly enrichest it; the river of God is full of water: thou providest them corn, when thou hast so prepared the earth.

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

Thou waterest her furrows abundantly; thou settlest the ridges thereof: thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing 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.

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: 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 pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
