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. For you, God in Zion, our praise waits; our vows will be carried out to you.

2 Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.

You who hear prayer, to you all flesh will come.

3 Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions — Thou dost cover them.

Iniquities prevail against us; as for our transgressions, you will forgive 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.

Blessed is the man whom you choose to bring near to you so that he may live in your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, 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 righteousness you will answer us by doing amazing things, God of our salvation; you who are hope of all the ends of the earth and of those who are far across the sea.

6 Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,

For it is you who made the mountains firm, you who are belted with strength.

7 Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.

It is you who quiet the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the commotion 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.

Those who live in the uttermost parts of the earth are afraid of the evidence of your deeds; you make the east and the west 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 come to help the earth; you water it; you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide mankind grain when you have 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.

You water its furrows abundantly; you settle down the furrows' ridges; you make them soft with rain showers; you bless the sprouts between them.

11 Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.

You crown the year with your goodness, and your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.

12 Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.

The pastures in the wilderness drip with dew, and the hills are clothed 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 grain; they shout for joy, and they sing.
