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 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 Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.
O Thou that hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come!
3 Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions — Thou dost cover them.
My iniquities are heavy upon me; But thou wilt forgive our transgressions!
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.
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 By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and 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 Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,
Thou makest fast the mountains by thy power, Being girded with strength!
7 Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
Thou stillest the roar of the sea, The roar of its waves, And the tumult of the nations.
8 And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.
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 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 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 Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.
Thou waterest its furrows, And breakest down its ridges; Thou makest it soft with showers, And blessest its increase.
11 Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; Thy footsteps drop fruitfulness;
12 Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
They drop it upon the pastures of the wilderness, And the hills are girded with gladness.
13 Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout — yea, they sing!
The pastures are clothed with flocks, And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout, yea, they sing for joy.
