< 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.
Praise waits for you, O God, in Sion: and to you shall the vow be performed.
2 You who hear prayer, to you all men will come.
O you that hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come.
3 Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions.
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.
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 the man whom you choose, and cause to approach to you, that he may dwell in your courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, even of your holy temple.
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;
By terrible things in righteousness will you answer us, O God of our salvation; who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off on the sea:
6 Who by his power forms the mountains, having armed yourself with strength;
Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
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.
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at your tokens: you make the outgoings of the 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 visit the earth, and water it: you greatly enrich it with the river of God, which is full of water: you prepare them corn, when you have so provided for it.
10 You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.
You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.
11 You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.
You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.
12 The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.
They drop on the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed with grain. They shout for joy. They also sing.
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
