Psalms 65

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme or song of David. O God, praise waiteth for thee in Zion, and vnto thee shall the vowe be perfourmed.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song. Praise waiteth for thee in silence, O God, in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

2 Because thou hearest the prayer, vnto thee shall all flesh come.

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

3 Wicked deedes haue preuailed against me: but thou wilt be mercifull vnto our transgressions.

Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.

4 Blessed is he, whom thou chusest and causest to come to thee: he shall dwell in thy courtes, and we shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thine House, euen of thine holy Temple.

Blessed is he whom thou choosest and causest to approach: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, of thy holy temple.

5 O God of our saluation, thou wilt answere vs with fearefull signes in thy righteousnes, O thou the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are farre off in the sea.

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of the sea. ...

6 He stablisheth the mountaines by his power: and is girded about with strength.

Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power;

7 He appeaseth the noyse of the seas and the noyse of the waues thereof, and the tumults of the people.

Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.

8 They also, that dwell in the vttermost parts of the earth, shalbe afraide of thy signes: thou shalt make the East and the West to reioyce.

And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens; thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou makest it very riche: the Riuer of God is full of water: thou preparest them corne: for so thou appointest it.

Thou hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it:

10 Thou waterest abundantly the furrowes thereof: thou causest the raine to descende into the valleies thereof: thou makest it soft with showres, and blessest the bud thereof.

Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.

11 Thou crownest ye yeere with thy goodnesse, and thy steppes droppe fatnesse.

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness:

12 They drop vpon the pastures of the wildernesse: and the hils shalbe compassed with gladnes.

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

13 The pastures are clad with sheepe: the valleis also shalbe couered with corne: therefore they shoute for ioye, and sing.

The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
