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 chief musician. A psalm. A song of David. For you, God in Zion, our praise waits; our vows will be carried out to you.
2 Thou hearer of prayer! Unto thee, shall all flesh come.
You who hear prayer, to you all flesh will come.
3 Iniquitous things, have been too strong for me, As for our transgressions, wilt, thou, by propitiation remove them.
Iniquities prevail against us; as for our transgressions, you will forgive them.
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 to bring near to you so that he may live in your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, 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;
In righteousness you will answer us by doing amazing things, God of our salvation; you who are hope of all the ends of the earth and of those who are far across the sea.
6 Who setteth fast the mountains by his strength, Being girded with might;
For it is you who made the mountains firm, you who are belted with strength.
7 Who stilleth, The noise of the seas, The noise of their rolling waves, and The tumult of races of men?
It is you who quiet the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the commotion of the peoples.
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.
Those who live in the uttermost parts of the earth are afraid of the evidence of your deeds; you make the east and the west 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 come to help the earth; you water it; you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide mankind grain when you have prepared the earth.
10 The ridges thereof, drenching, Settling the furrows thereof, With myriad drops, dost thou soften it, The sprouting thereof, doth thou bless.
You water its furrows abundantly; you settle down the furrows' ridges; you make them soft with rain showers; you bless the sprouts between them.
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 wagon tracks overflow with abundance.
12 Fruitful are the pastures of the wilderness, And, with exultation, the hills do gird themselves.
The pastures in the wilderness drip with dew, and the hills are clothed with joy.
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 grain; they shout for joy, and they sing.
