Psalms 65
1 For the leader. A psalm of David. A song. It is seemly to praise you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.
Praise waits for thee, O God, in Zion. And to thee the vow shall be performed.
2 O you who hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
O thou who hear prayer, to thee all flesh shall come.
3 Our sins are too mighty for us, our transgressions you only can cover them.
Iniquities prevail against me. As for our transgressions, thou will forgive them.
4 Happy the person who you choose to live beside you in your courts. O may we be filled with the joys of your house, of your holy temple.
Blessed is the man whom thou choose and cause to approach, that he may dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, thy holy temple.
5 In dread deeds you loyally answer us, O God of our salvation, whom all ends of the earth put their trust in, and islands far away.
By awesome things thou will answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, thou who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of those who are afar off upon the sea,
6 By your strength you establish the hills, you are armed with might;
who by his strength sets firm the mountains, being girded about with might,
7 you still the roaring of seas, and the turmoil of nations,
who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
8 so that those who live at earth’s bounds are awed at your signs: the lands of the sunrise and sunset you make to ring with joy.
They also who dwell in the outermost parts are afraid at thy signs. Thou make the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 You visit and water the earth; you greatly enrich her with the river of God, which is full of water. You prepare the corn thereof,
Thou visit the earth, and water it; thou greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. Thou provide them grain when thou have so prepared the earth.
10 watering her furrows, settling her ridges; you make her soft with showers, and bless what grows thereon.
Thou water its furrows abundantly. Thou settle the ridges of it. Thou make it soft with showers. Thou bless the springing of it.
11 You crown the year with your goodness, your chariot tracks drip with fatness.
Thou crown the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness.
12 The desert pastures are lush, the hills greened with joy.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with joy.
13 The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys are covered with corn; they shout to each other and sing.
The pastures are clothed with flocks. The valleys also are covered over with grain. They shout for joy; they also sing.
