Psalms 65

1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David—a song. Thine, are silence [and] praise, O God, in Zion, —And, to thee, shall be paid the vow.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

2 Thou hearer of prayer! Unto thee, shall all flesh come.

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

3 Iniquitous things, have been too strong for me, As for our transgressions, wilt, thou, by propitiation remove them.

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

4 How happy the man thou shalt choose and bring near! He shall abide in thy courts, —We shall be satisfied with, The blessing of thy house, The holiness of thy temple.

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, the holy place of thy temple.

5 By things reverend in righteousness, wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the sea far away;

By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

6 Who setteth fast the mountains by his strength, Being girded with might;

Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded about with might:

7 Who stilleth, The noise of the seas, The noise of their rolling waves, and The tumult of races of men?

Which stilleth the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.

8 Yea the dwellers in the uttermost parts have feared at thy tokens, The goings forth of morning and evening, thou causest to shout for joy.

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

9 Thou hast visited the earth, and made it abound, Abundantly, dost thou enrich it—The channel of God, is full of waters, Thou preparest their corn, Yea, thus, dost thou prepare it:

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it, thou greatly enrichest it; the river of God is full of water: thou providest them corn, when thou hast so prepared the earth.

10 The ridges thereof, drenching, Settling the furrows thereof, With myriad drops, dost thou soften it, The sprouting thereof, doth thou bless.

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

11 Thou hast set a crown upon thy year of bounty, And, thy tracks, drop fatness;

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

12 Fruitful are the pastures of the wilderness, And, with exultation, the hills do gird themselves.

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the hills are girded with joy.

13 Clothed are the pastures with flocks, The valleys also, cover themselves with corn, They shout for joy, yea they sing.

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