Psalms 65

1 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.

For the end, a Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise becomes thee, O God, in Sion; and to thee shall the vow be performed.

2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

Hear my prayer; to thee all flesh shall come.

3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do thou pardon our sins.

4 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.

Blessed [is he] whom thou hast chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in thy courts; we shall be filled with the good things of thy house; thy temple is holy.

5 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:

[Thou art] wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them [that are] on the sea afar off:

6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded about with might:

who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about with power;

7 Which stilleth the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.

who troublest the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends [of the earth] shall be afraid of thy signs; thou wilt cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.

9 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.

Thou hast visited the earth, and saturated it; thou hast abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; thou hast prepared their food, for thus is the preparation [of it].

10 Thou waterest her furrows abundantly; thou settlest the ridges thereof: thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.

Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up shall rejoice in its drops.

11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.

Thou wilt bless the crown of the year [because] of thy goodness; and thy plains shall be filled with fatness.

12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the hills are girded with joy.

The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.

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

The rams of the flock are clothed [with wool], and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yea they shall sing hymns.
