Psalms 65
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence — praise, O God, [is] in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.
For the end, a Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise becomes thee, O God, in Sion; and to thee shall the vow be performed.
2 Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.
Hear my prayer; to thee all flesh shall come.
3 Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions — Thou dost cover them.
The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do thou pardon our sins.
4 O the happiness of [him whom] Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.
Blessed [is he] whom thou hast chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in thy courts; we shall be filled with the good things of thy house; thy temple is holy.
5 By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.
[Thou art] wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them [that are] on the sea afar off:
6 Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,
who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about with power;
7 Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
who troublest the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
8 And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.
The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends [of the earth] shall be afraid of thy signs; thou wilt cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.
9 Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God [is] full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,
Thou hast visited the earth, and saturated it; thou hast abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; thou hast prepared their food, for thus is the preparation [of it].
10 Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.
Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up shall rejoice in its drops.
11 Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.
Thou wilt bless the crown of the year [because] of thy goodness; and thy plains shall be filled with fatness.
12 Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.
13 Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout — yea, they sing!
The rams of the flock are clothed [with wool], and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yea they shall sing hymns.
