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. A psalm of David. A song. It is seemly to praise you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.
2 Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.
O you who hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
3 Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions — Thou dost cover them.
Our sins are too mighty for us, our transgressions you only can cover them.
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 the person who you choose to live beside you in your courts. O may we be filled with the joys of your house, of your 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.
In dread deeds you loyally answer us, O God of our salvation, whom all ends of the earth put their trust in, and islands far away.
6 Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,
By your strength you establish the hills, you are armed with might;
7 Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
you still the roaring of seas, and the turmoil of nations,
8 And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.
so that those who live at earth’s bounds are awed at your signs: the lands of the sunrise and sunset you make to ring with joy.
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 visit and water the earth; you greatly enrich her with the river of God, which is full of water. You prepare the corn thereof,
10 Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.
watering her furrows, settling her ridges; you make her soft with showers, and bless what grows thereon.
11 Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.
You crown the year with your goodness, your chariot tracks drip with fatness.
12 Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
The desert pastures are lush, the hills greened with joy.
13 Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout — yea, they sing!
The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys are covered with corn; they shout to each other and sing.
