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 leader of the music. A psalm of David.” To thee belongeth trust, to thee praise, O God in Zion! And to thee shall the vow be performed!

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

O Thou that hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come!

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

My iniquities are heavy upon me; But thou wilt forgive our transgressions!

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,

Happy is he whom thou choosest, And bringest near thee to dwell in thy courts! May we be satisfied with the blessings of thy house, Thy holy temple!

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.

By wonderful deeds dost thou answer us in thy goodness, O God, our salvation! Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the most distant seas!

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

Thou makest fast the mountains by thy power, Being girded with strength!

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

Thou stillest the roar of the sea, The roar of its waves, And the tumult of the nations.

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.

They who dwell in the ends of the earth are awed by thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and of the 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.

Thou visitest the earth and waterest it; Thou enrichest it exceedingly; The river of God is full of water. Thou suppliest the earth with corn, When thou hast thus prepared it.

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

Thou waterest its furrows, And breakest down its ridges; Thou makest it soft with showers, And blessest its increase.

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

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; Thy footsteps drop fruitfulness;

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

They drop it upon the pastures of the wilderness, And the hills are girded with gladness.

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 pastures are clothed with flocks, And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout, yea, they sing for joy.
