Psalms 65
1 God, it is right/appropriate [for us] to praise you in Jerusalem, and to do what [we] have promised you that [we] would do,
| לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ מִזְמֹ֗ור לְדָוִ֥ד שִֽׁיר׃ לְךָ֤ דֻֽמִיָּ֬ה תְהִלָּ֓ה אֱלֹ֘הִ֥ים בְּצִיֹּ֑ון וּ֝לְךָ֗ יְשֻׁלַּם־נֶֽדֶר׃ |
2 [because] you answer our prayers. People everywhere will come to you
| שֹׁמֵ֥עַ תְּפִלָּ֑ה עָ֝דֶ֗יךָ כָּל־בָּשָׂ֥ר יָבֹֽאוּ׃ |
3 because of the sins [that they have committed]. Our many sins are like a very heavy burden to us, but you forgive us.
| דִּבְרֵ֣י עֲ֭וֹנֹת גָּ֣בְרוּ מֶ֑נִּי פְּ֝שָׁעֵ֗ינוּ אַתָּ֥ה תְכַפְּרֵֽם׃ |
4 You are pleased with those whom you have chosen to live close to your temple. We are happy with all the blessings that we receive from [worshiping in] your sacred temple.
| אַשְׁרֵ֤י ׀ תִּֽבְחַ֣ר וּתְקָרֵב֮ יִשְׁכֹּ֪ן חֲצֵ֫רֶ֥יךָ נִ֭שְׂבְּעָה בְּט֣וּב בֵּיתֶ֑ךָ קְ֝דֹ֗שׁ הֵיכָלֶֽךָ׃ |
5 [God, when we pray to you], you answer us and save us by doing awesome deeds; you are the one who rescues us; people who live in very remote places on the earth, on the other side of the oceans, trust in you.
| נֹ֤ורָאֹ֨ות ׀ בְּצֶ֣דֶק תַּ֭עֲנֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעֵ֑נוּ מִבְטָ֥ח כָּל־קַצְוֵי־אֶ֝֗רֶץ וְיָ֣ם רְחֹקִֽים׃ |
6 By your strength you put the mountains in their places, [showing that] you are very powerful.
| מֵכִ֣ין הָרִ֣ים בְּכֹחֹ֑ו נֶ֝אְזָ֗ר בִּגְבוּרָֽה׃ |
7 You calm the seas when they roar, and you stop the waves from crashing [on the shore]; you [also] calm people when they (make a great uproar/shout angrily together).
| מַשְׁבִּ֤יחַ ׀ שְׁאֹ֣ון יַ֭מִּים שְׁאֹ֥ון גַּלֵּיהֶ֗ם וַהֲמֹ֥ון לְאֻמִּֽים׃ |
8 People who live in very remote/distant places on the earth (are awed by/revere) you because of the miracles that you perform; because of what you do, people who live far to the west and far to the east shout joyfully.
| וַיִּ֤ירְא֨וּ ׀ יֹשְׁבֵ֣י קְ֭צָוֹת מֵאֹותֹתֶ֑יךָ מֹ֤וצָֽאֵי־בֹ֖קֶר וָעֶ֣רֶב תַּרְנִֽין׃ |
9 You take care of the soil and send rain, causing many good things to grow; you fill the streams with water, and cause grain/crops to grow. That is what you have determined/said would happen.
| פָּקַ֥דְתָּ הָאָ֨רֶץ ׀ וַתְּשֹׁ֪קְקֶ֡הָ רַבַּ֬ת תַּעְשְׁרֶ֗נָּה פֶּ֣לֶג אֱ֭לֹהִים מָ֣לֵא מָ֑יִם תָּכִ֥ין דְּ֝גָנָ֗ם כִּי־כֵ֥ן תְּכִינֶֽהָ׃ |
10 You [send plenty of rain] on the fields that have been plowed, and you fill the furrows with water. With showers you soften the [hard clods/lumps of] soil, and you bless the soil by causing young plants to grow.
| תְּלָמֶ֣יהָ רַ֭וֵּה נַחֵ֣ת גְּדוּדֶ֑יהָ בִּרְבִיבִ֥ים תְּ֝מֹגְגֶ֗נָּה צִמְחָ֥הּ תְּבָרֵֽךְ׃ |
11 Because you bless the soil, there are very good crops at harvest season; wherever you have gone [MTY], good crops are very abundant [IDM].
| עִ֭טַּרְתָּ שְׁנַ֣ת טֹובָתֶ֑ךָ וּ֝מַעְגָּלֶ֗יךָ יִרְעֲפ֥וּן דָּֽשֶׁן׃ |
12 The pastures are full of flocks [of sheep and goats]; [it is as though] the hills are very joyful.
| יִ֭רְעֲפוּ נְאֹ֣ות מִדְבָּ֑ר וְ֝גִ֗יל גְּבָעֹ֥ות תַּחְגֹּֽרְנָה׃ |
13 The meadows are full of sheep and goats, and the valleys are full of grain; [it is as though] they [also] sing and shout joyfully.
| לָבְשׁ֬וּ כָרִ֨ים ׀ הַצֹּ֗אן וַעֲמָקִ֥ים יַֽעַטְפוּ־בָ֑ר יִ֝תְרֹועֲע֗וּ אַף־יָשִֽׁירוּ׃ |
