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 waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 You who hear prayer, to you all men will come.
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions.
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt 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 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, even of thy 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 wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 Who by his power forms the mountains, having armed yourself with strength;
Which by his strength setteth 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 stilleth 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 thy tokens: thou makest 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.
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.
Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.
They drop upon 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.
