Psalms 65

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

To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and to thee shall the vow be performed.

2 Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.

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

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

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

4 Blessed [is he] whom you have chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in your courts; we shall be filled with the good things of your house; your temple is holy.

Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to approach [to thee], [that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy temple.

5 [You are] wonderful in righteousness. Listen 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:

[By] terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; [who art] the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off [upon] the sea:

6 who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;

Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains; [being] girded with power:

7 who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

Who stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

8 The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends [of the earth] shall be afraid of your signs; you will cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.

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

9 You have visited the earth, and saturated it; you have abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; you have prepared their food, for thus is the preparation [of it].

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, [which] is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

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

Thou waterest the ridges of it abundantly: thou settlest the furrows of it: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing of it.

11 You will bless the crown of the year [because] of your goodness; and your plains shall be filled with fatness.

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

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

They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

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

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