Psalms 65

1 To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out. A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.

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

2 O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.

Hear my prayer; to you all flesh shall come.

3 The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.

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

4 Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,

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.

5 Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.

[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:

6 Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:

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

7 Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,

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

8 And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.

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.

9 Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.

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].

10 Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.

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

11 Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.

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

12 The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy,

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

13 The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.

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.
