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.

Praise waits for you, O God, in Sion: and unto you shall the vow be performed.

2 You who hear prayer, to you all flesh will come.

O you that hear prayer, unto you 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, you shall purge them away.

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 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 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 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 For it is you who made the mountains firm, you who are belted with strength.

Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power:

7 It is you who quiet the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the commotion of the peoples.

Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

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 your tokens: you make the utmost limit 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.

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 You water its furrows abundantly; you settle down the furrows' ridges; you make them soft with rain showers; you bless the sprouts between them.

You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.

11 You crown the year with your goodness, and your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.

You crown the year with your goodness; and your 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 little hills rejoice on every side.

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 corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
