Psalms 65

1 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.

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

Hear my prayer; to thee all flesh shall come.

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

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

4 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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

8 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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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