Psalms 65
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David—a song. Thine, are silence [and] praise, O God, in Zion, —And, to thee, shall be paid the vow.
For the end, a Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise becomes you, O God, in Sion; and to you shall the vow be performed.
2 Thou hearer of prayer! Unto thee, shall all flesh come.
Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.
3 Iniquitous things, have been too strong for me, As for our transgressions, wilt, thou, by propitiation remove them.
The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do you pardon our sins.
4 How happy the man thou shalt choose and bring near! He shall abide in thy courts, —We shall be satisfied with, The blessing of thy house, The holiness of thy temple.
Blessed [is he] whom you have chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in your courts; we shall be filled with the good things of your house; your temple is holy.
5 By things reverend in righteousness, wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the sea far away;
[You are] wonderful in righteousness. Listen to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them [that are] on the sea afar off:
6 Who setteth fast the mountains by his strength, Being girded with might;
who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;
7 Who stilleth, The noise of the seas, The noise of their rolling waves, and The tumult of races of men?
who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
8 Yea the dwellers in the uttermost parts have feared at thy tokens, The goings forth of morning and evening, thou causest to shout for joy.
The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends [of the earth] shall be afraid of your signs; you will cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.
9 Thou hast visited the earth, and made it abound, Abundantly, dost thou enrich it—The channel of God, is full of waters, Thou preparest their corn, Yea, thus, dost thou prepare it:
You have visited the earth, and saturated it; you have abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; you have prepared their food, for thus is the preparation [of it].
10 The ridges thereof, drenching, Settling the furrows thereof, With myriad drops, dost thou soften it, The sprouting thereof, doth thou bless.
Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up shall rejoice in its drops.
11 Thou hast set a crown upon thy year of bounty, And, thy tracks, drop fatness;
You will bless the crown of the year [because] of your goodness; and your plains shall be filled with fatness.
12 Fruitful are the pastures of the wilderness, And, with exultation, the hills do gird themselves.
The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.
13 Clothed are the pastures with flocks, The valleys also, cover themselves with corn, They shout for joy, yea they sing.
The rams of the flock are clothed [with wool], and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yes they shall sing hymns.
