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 Chief Musician. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions — Thou dost cover them.
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
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 the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee], that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, the holy place of thy 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 terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,
Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded about with might:
7 Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
Which stilleth the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
8 And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the 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 visitest the earth, and waterest it, thou greatly enrichest it; the river of God is full of water: thou providest them corn, when thou hast so prepared the earth.
10 Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.
Thou waterest her furrows abundantly; thou settlest the ridges thereof: thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the hills are girded with joy.
13 Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout — yea, they sing!
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
