< Psalms 65 >
1 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.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion; And unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 You who hear prayer, to you all flesh will come.
O thou that hearest prayer, Unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against us; as for our transgressions, you will forgive them.
Iniquities prevail against me: As for our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.
4 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.
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee], That he may dwell in thy courts: We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, Thy holy temple.
5 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.
By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 For it is you who made the mountains firm, you who are belted with strength.
Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains, Being girded about with might;
7 It is you who quiet the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the commotion of the peoples.
Who stilleth the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.
8 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.
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 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.
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it, Thou greatly enrichest it; The river of God is full of water: Thou providest them grain, when thou hast so prepared the earth.
10 You water its furrows abundantly; you settle down the furrows' ridges; you make them soft with rain showers; you bless the sprouts between them.
Thou waterest its furrows abundantly; Thou settlest the ridges thereof: Thou makest it soft with showers; Thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 You crown the year with your goodness, and your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; And thy paths drop fatness.
12 The pastures in the wilderness drip with dew, and the hills are clothed with joy.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness; And the hills are girded with joy.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with grain; they shout for joy, and they sing.
The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered over with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing.
