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 leader of the music. A psalm of David.” To thee belongeth trust, to thee praise, O God in Zion! And to thee shall the vow be performed!
2 You who hear prayer, to you all men will come.
O Thou that hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come!
3 Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions.
My iniquities are heavy upon me; But thou wilt forgive our transgressions!
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.
Happy is he whom thou choosest, And bringest near thee to dwell in thy courts! May we be satisfied with the blessings of thy house, 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 wonderful deeds dost thou answer us in thy goodness, O God, our salvation! Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the most distant seas!
6 Who by his power forms the mountains, having armed yourself with strength;
Thou makest fast the mountains by thy power, Being girded with strength!
7 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
Thou stillest the roar of the sea, The roar of its waves, And the tumult of the nations.
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 who dwell in the ends of the earth are awed by thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and of the 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 enrichest it exceedingly; The river of God is full of water. Thou suppliest the earth with corn, When thou hast thus prepared it.
10 You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.
Thou waterest its furrows, And breakest down its ridges; Thou makest it soft with showers, And blessest its increase.
11 You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; Thy footsteps drop fruitfulness;
12 The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.
They drop it upon the pastures of the wilderness, And the hills are girded with gladness.
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, And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout, yea, they sing for joy.
