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,
Al maestro del coro. Salmo. Di Davide. Canto. A te si deve lode, o Dio, in Sion; a te si sciolga il voto in Gerusalemme.
2 [because] you answer our prayers. People everywhere will come to you
A te, che ascolti la preghiera, viene ogni mortale.
3 because of the sins [that they have committed]. Our many sins are like a very heavy burden to us, but you forgive us.
Pesano su di noi le nostre colpe, ma tu perdoni i nostri peccati.
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.
Beato chi hai scelto e chiamato vicino, abiterà nei tuoi atrii. Ci sazieremo dei beni della tua casa, della santità del tuo tempio.
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.
Con i prodigi della tua giustizia, tu ci rispondi, o Dio, nostra salvezza, speranza dei confini della terra e dei mari lontani.
6 By your strength you put the mountains in their places, [showing that] you are very powerful.
Tu rendi saldi i monti con la tua forza, cinto di potenza.
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).
Tu fai tacere il fragore del mare, il fragore dei suoi flutti, tu plachi il tumulto dei popoli.
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.
Gli abitanti degli estremi confini stupiscono davanti ai tuoi prodigi: di gioia fai gridare la terra, le soglie dell'oriente e dell'occidente.
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.
Tu visiti la terra e la disseti: la ricolmi delle sue ricchezze. Il fiume di Dio è gonfio di acque; tu fai crescere il frumento per gli uomini. Così prepari la terra:
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.
Ne irrighi i solchi, ne spiani le zolle, la bagni con le piogge e benedici i suoi germogli.
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].
Coroni l'anno con i tuoi benefici, al tuo passaggio stilla l'abbondanza.
12 The pastures are full of flocks [of sheep and goats]; [it is as though] the hills are very joyful.
Stillano i pascoli del deserto e le colline si cingono di esultanza.
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.
I prati si coprono di greggi, le valli si ammantano di grano; tutto canta e grida di gioia.
