< Psalms 65 >
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and to thee shall the vow be performed.
For the Leader. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Zion; and unto Thee the vow is performed.
2 O thou that hearest prayer, to thee shall all flesh come.
O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee doth all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: [as for] our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
The tale of iniquities is too heavy for me; as for our transgressions, Thou wilt pardon them.
4 Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to approach [to thee], [that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy temple.
Happy is the man whom Thou choosest, and bringest near, that he may dwell in Thy courts; may we be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, the holy place of Thy temple!
5 [By] terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; [who art] the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off [upon] the sea:
With wondrous works dost Thou answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; Thou the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the far distant seas;
6 Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains; [being] girded with power:
Who by Thy strength settest fast the mountains, who art girded about with might;
7 Who stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
Who stillest the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples;
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
So that they that dwell in the uttermost parts stand in awe of Thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, [which] is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
Thou hast remembered the earth, and watered her, greatly enriching her, with the river of God that is full of water; Thou preparest them corn, for so preparest Thou her.
10 Thou waterest the ridges of it abundantly: thou settlest the furrows of it: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing of it.
Watering her ridges abundantly, settling down the furrows thereof, Thou makest her soft with showers; Thou blessest the growth thereof.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drop fatness.
12 They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
The pastures of the wilderness do drop; and the hills are girded with joy.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
The meadows are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
