Psalms 65

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

5 [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:

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

9 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

The pastures in the wilderness drip with dew, and the hills are clothed with joy.

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

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