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 you, O God, in Sion; and to you shall the vow be performed.
2 Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.
Hear my prayer; to you 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 you 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 you have chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in your courts; we shall be filled with the good things of your house; your 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.
[You are] wonderful in righteousness. Listen 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 do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;
7 Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
who trouble 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 your signs; you will 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,
You have visited the earth, and saturated it; you have abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; you have 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.
You will bless the crown of the year [because] of your goodness; and your 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, yes they shall sing hymns.
