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 leader of the music. A psalm of David.” To thee belongeth trust, to thee praise, O God in Zion! And to thee shall the vow be performed!
2 You who hear prayer, to you all flesh will come.
O Thou that hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come!
3 Iniquities prevail against us; as for our transgressions, you will forgive them.
My iniquities are heavy upon me; But thou wilt forgive our transgressions!
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.
Happy is he whom thou choosest, And bringest near thee to dwell in thy courts! May we be satisfied with the blessings 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 wonderful deeds dost thou answer us in thy goodness, O God, our salvation! Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the most distant seas!
6 For it is you who made the mountains firm, you who are belted with strength.
Thou makest fast the mountains by thy power, Being girded with strength!
7 It is you who quiet the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the commotion of the peoples.
Thou stillest the roar of the sea, The roar of its waves, And the tumult of the nations.
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 who dwell in the ends of the earth are awed by thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and of the 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 enrichest it exceedingly; The river of God is full of water. Thou suppliest the earth with corn, When thou hast thus prepared 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.
Thou waterest its furrows, And breakest down its ridges; Thou makest it soft with showers, And blessest its increase.
11 You crown the year with your goodness, and your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; Thy footsteps drop fruitfulness;
12 The pastures in the wilderness drip with dew, and the hills are clothed with joy.
They drop it upon the pastures of the wilderness, And the hills are girded with gladness.
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, And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout, yea, they sing for joy.
