Salmos 65

1 En ti reposa la alabanza, o! Dios, en Sión; y a ti se pagará el voto.

God, it is right/appropriate [for us] to praise you in Jerusalem, and to do what [we] have promised you that [we] would do,

2 Tú oyes la oración, a ti vendrá toda carne.

[because] you answer our prayers. People everywhere will come to you

3 Palabras de iniquidades me sobrepujaron: mas nuestras rebeliones, tú las perdonarás.

because of the sins [that they have committed]. Our many sins are like a very heavy burden to us, but you forgive us.

4 Dichoso el que tú escogieres, e hicieres llegar para que habite en tus patios: seremos hartos del bien de tu casa, de tu santo templo.

You are pleased with those whom you have chosen to live close to your temple. We are happy with all the blessings that we receive from [worshiping in] your sacred temple.

5 Con terribilidades nos oirás en justicia, o! Dios de nuestra salud: esperanza de todos los fines de la tierra, y de las partes más lejanas de la mar.

[God, when we pray to you], you answer us and save us by doing awesome deeds; you are the one who rescues us; people who live in very remote places on the earth, on the other side of the oceans, trust in you.

6 El que afirma los montes con su fortaleza, ceñido de valentía.

By your strength you put the mountains in their places, [showing that] you are very powerful.

7 El que amansa el estruendo de las mares, el estruendo de sus ondas: y el alboroto de las civiles sediciones.

You calm the seas when they roar, and you stop the waves from crashing [on the shore]; you [also] calm people when they (make a great uproar/shout angrily together).

8 Y los habitadores de los fines de la tierra temen de tus maravillas: que haces alegrar las salidas de la mañana y de la tarde.

People who live in very remote/distant places on the earth (are awed by/revere) you because of the miracles that you perform; because of what you do, people who live far to the west and far to the east shout joyfully.

9 Visitas la tierra, y después que la has hecho desear mucho, la enriqueces: el río de Dios lleno de aguas: aparejas el grano de ellos: porque así la ordenaste.

You take care of the soil and send rain, causing many good things to grow; you fill the streams with water, and cause grain/crops to grow. That is what you have determined/said would happen.

10 Embriagas sus surcos, haces descender el agua en sus regaderas: ablándasla con lluvias, bendices sus renuevos.

You [send plenty of rain] on the fields that have been plowed, and you fill the furrows with water. With showers you soften the [hard clods/lumps of] soil, and you bless the soil by causing young plants to grow.

11 Coronas el año de tus bienes: y tus nubes destilan grosura.

Because you bless the soil, there are very good crops at harvest season; wherever you have gone [MTY], good crops are very abundant [IDM].

12 Destilan sobre las habitaciones del desierto: y los collados se ciñen de alegría,

The pastures are full of flocks [of sheep and goats]; [it is as though] the hills are very joyful.

13 Vístense los llanos de ovejas, y los valles se cubren de grano: regocíjanse, y aun cantan.

The meadows are full of sheep and goats, and the valleys are full of grain; [it is as though] they [also] sing and shout joyfully.
