Psalms 65
1 God, it is right/appropriate [for us] to praise you in Jerusalem, and to do what [we] have promised you that [we] would do,
Ein Psalm Davids, zum Lied vorzusingen. Gott, man lobet dich in der Stille zu Zion und dir bezahlt man Gelübde.
2 [because] you answer our prayers. People everywhere will come to you
Du erhörest Gebet, darum kommt alles Fleisch zu dir.
3 because of the sins [that they have committed]. Our many sins are like a very heavy burden to us, but you forgive us.
Unsere Missetat drücket uns hart; du wollest unsere Sünde vergeben.
4 You are pleased with those whom you have chosen to live close to your temple. We are happy with all the blessings that we receive from [worshiping in] your sacred temple.
Wohl dem, den du erwählest und zu dir lässest, daß er wohne in deinen Höfen! Der hat reichen Trost von deinem Hause, deinem heiligen Tempel.
5 [God, when we pray to you], you answer us and save us by doing awesome deeds; you are the one who rescues us; people who live in very remote places on the earth, on the other side of the oceans, trust in you.
Erhöre uns nach der wunderlichen Gerechtigkeit, Gott, unser Heil, der du bist Zuversicht aller auf Erden und ferne am Meer;
6 By your strength you put the mountains in their places, [showing that] you are very powerful.
der die Berge fest setzt in seiner Kraft und gerüstet ist mit Macht;
7 You calm the seas when they roar, and you stop the waves from crashing [on the shore]; you [also] calm people when they (make a great uproar/shout angrily together).
der du stillest das Brausen des Meers, das Brausen seiner Wellen, und das Toben der Völker,
8 People who live in very remote/distant places on the earth (are awed by/revere) you because of the miracles that you perform; because of what you do, people who live far to the west and far to the east shout joyfully.
daß sich entsetzen, die an denselben Enden wohnen, vor deinen Zeichen. Du machst fröhlich, was da webet, beide des Morgens und Abends.
9 You take care of the soil and send rain, causing many good things to grow; you fill the streams with water, and cause grain/crops to grow. That is what you have determined/said would happen.
Du suchest das Land heim und wässerst es und machest es sehr reich. Gottes Brünnlein hat Wassers die Fülle. Du lässest ihr Getreide wohlgeraten, denn also bauest du das Land.
10 You [send plenty of rain] on the fields that have been plowed, and you fill the furrows with water. With showers you soften the [hard clods/lumps of] soil, and you bless the soil by causing young plants to grow.
Du tränkest seine Furchen und feuchtest sein Gepflügtes; mit Regen machst du es weich und segnest sein Gewächs.
11 Because you bless the soil, there are very good crops at harvest season; wherever you have gone [MTY], good crops are very abundant [IDM].
Du krönest das Jahr mit deinem Gut und deine Fußtapfen triefen von Fett.
12 The pastures are full of flocks [of sheep and goats]; [it is as though] the hills are very joyful.
Die Wohnungen in der Wüste sind auch fett, daß sie triefen, und die Hügel sind umher lustig.
13 The meadows are full of sheep and goats, and the valleys are full of grain; [it is as though] they [also] sing and shout joyfully.
