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.

1.

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

2. Praise belongs to you, O God, in Zion; here people come to fulfill their vows.

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

3. All mortals bring to you their evil deeds, to you, who answer prayers.

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.

4. Though our faults prevail over us, you forgive our sins.

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:

5. Blessed is the one you choose to approach you and take to dwell in your courts. In your house we are satisfied with the good things of your holy temple.

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

6. With awesome deeds of righteousness you answer us, O God our savior, hope of all the ends of the earth and of distant islands.

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

7. By your power you set up the mountains.

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.

8. By your strength the seas were calmed; you lull their roaring waves and the turmoil of the nations.

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.

9. Those who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your marvelous deeds. You make joyful the dawn and the coming of dusk.

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

10. You water the land and care for it, enriching it with natural resources. God's stream is filled with water; so you prepare the earth to give us its fruits.

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

11. You drench the furrows in the land and level the ridges, you soften the soil with showers and bless its crops.

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

12. You crown the year with your goodness; abundance flows everywhere.

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

13. The deserts have become pasture land, the hills are clothed with gladness,

14.

14. the meadows covered with flocks, the valleys decked with grain - they shout and sing for joy.
