Psalms 65

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. A SONG. To You, silence [and] praise, O God, in Zion, And to You a vow is completed.

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.] Praise awaits you, God, in Zion. And to you shall vows be performed.

2 Hearer of prayer, all flesh comes to You.

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

3 Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions—You cover them.

Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions.

4 O the blessedness of [him whom] You choose, And draw near, he inhabits Your courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.

Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, that he may dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.

5 By fearful things in righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off The ends of the earth and sea.

By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of every part of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea;

6 Establishing mountains by His power, He has been girded with might,

Who by his power forms the mountains, having armed yourself with strength;

7 Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.

who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.

8 And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts Are afraid from Your signs, You cause the outgoings of morning and evening to sing.

They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning's dawn and the evening with songs of joy.

9 You have inspected the earth, and water it, You make it very rich, the stream of God [is] full of water, You prepare their grain, When thus You prepare it,

You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it.

10 Its ridges have been filled, Its furrow has been deepened, You soften it with showers, Its springing up You bless.

You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.

11 You have crowned the year of Your goodness, And Your paths drop fatness.

You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.

12 The pastures of a wilderness drop, And You gird the hills with joy.

The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.

13 The meadows are clothed with the flock, And valleys are covered with grain, They shout—indeed, they sing!

The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed with grain. They shout for joy. They also sing.
