< Psalms 65 >
1 “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!
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 O Thou that hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come!
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 My iniquities are heavy upon me; But thou wilt forgive our transgressions!
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
4 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!
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 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!
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 Thou makest fast the mountains by thy power, Being girded with strength!
Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded about with might:
7 Thou stillest the roar of the sea, The roar of its waves, And the tumult of the nations.
Which stilleth the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
8 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!
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 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.
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 Thou waterest its furrows, And breakest down its ridges; Thou makest it soft with showers, And blessest its increase.
Thou waterest her furrows abundantly; thou settlest the ridges thereof: thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; Thy footsteps drop fruitfulness;
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 They drop it upon the pastures of the wilderness, And the hills are girded with gladness.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the hills are girded with joy.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks, And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout, yea, they sing for joy.
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
