Psalms 65

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.] Praise awaits you, God, in Zion. And to you shall vows be performed.

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

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

3 Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions.

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

4 Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, that he may dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your 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 awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of every part of the earth, of those who are far away on the 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 Who by his power forms the mountains, having armed yourself with strength;

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

7 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.

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

8 They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning's dawn and the evening with songs of joy.

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 You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained 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 You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.

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 You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.

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

12 The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.

The pastures in the wilderness drip with dew, and the hills are clothed with joy.

13 The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed with grain. They shout for joy. They also sing.

The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with grain; they shout for joy, and they sing.
