Psalms 65
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.] Praise awaits you, God, in Zion. And to you shall vows be performed.
For the end, a Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise becomes you, O God, in Sion; and to you shall the vow be performed.
2 You who hear prayer, to you all men will come.
Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.
3 Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions.
The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do you pardon our sins.
4 Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, that he may dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.
Blessed [is he] whom you have chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in your courts; we shall be filled with the good things of your house; your temple is holy.
5 By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of every part of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea;
[You are] wonderful in righteousness. Listen to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them [that are] on the sea afar off:
6 Who by his power forms the mountains, having armed yourself with strength;
who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;
7 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
8 They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning's dawn and the evening with songs of joy.
The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends [of the earth] shall be afraid of your signs; you will cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.
9 You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it.
You have visited the earth, and saturated it; you have abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; you have prepared their food, for thus is the preparation [of it].
10 You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.
Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up shall rejoice in its drops.
11 You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.
You will bless the crown of the year [because] of your goodness; and your plains shall be filled with fatness.
12 The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.
The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.
13 The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed with grain. They shout for joy. They also sing.
The rams of the flock are clothed [with wool], and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yes they shall sing hymns.
