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.
Praise waits for you, O God, in Sion: and unto you shall the vow be performed.
2 Thou hearer of prayer! Unto thee, shall all flesh come.
O you that hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquitous things, have been too strong for me, As for our transgressions, wilt, thou, by propitiation remove them.
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.
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 the man whom you choose, and cause to approach unto you, that he may dwell in your courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, even of your holy temple.
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;
By terrible things in righteousness will you answer us, O God of our salvation; who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are far off upon the sea:
6 Who setteth fast the mountains by his strength, Being girded with might;
Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 Who stilleth, The noise of the seas, The noise of their rolling waves, and The tumult of races of men?
Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
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.
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at your tokens: you make the utmost limit of the 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 visit the earth, and water it: you greatly enrich it with the river of God, which is full of water: you prepare them corn, when you have so provided for it.
10 The ridges thereof, drenching, Settling the furrows thereof, With myriad drops, dost thou soften it, The sprouting thereof, doth thou bless.
You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.
11 Thou hast set a crown upon thy year of bounty, And, thy tracks, drop fatness;
You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.
12 Fruitful are the pastures of the wilderness, And, with exultation, the hills do gird themselves.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 Clothed are the pastures with flocks, The valleys also, cover themselves with corn, They shout for joy, yea they sing.
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
