Psalms 65

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled.

2 O You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You.

3 When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.

4 Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.

5 With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

6 You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.

7 You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.

8 Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.

9 You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for the earth.

10 You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.

11 You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty.

12 The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed with joy.

13 The pastures are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are decked with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.

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.

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

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

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.

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:

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

1 a psalm of David, to be sung to song.

2 God, you are praised in the silence of Zion, and vows are paid to you.

3 thou hearest prayer; therefore all flesh cometh unto thee.

4 Our iniquity is heavy upon us: thou wilt forgive our sin.

5 Blessed is he whom thou choosest, whom thou dost admit to dwell in thy courts. He hath rich consolation from thy house, thy holy temple. Hear us according to the marvellous righteousness, O God, our salvation, who art the confidence of all on earth and far off by the sea;

7 Who setteth the mountains in his strength, and is armed with might;

8 Who stillest the roaring of the sea, the roaring of its waves, and the raging of the nations,

9 And they that dwell in the same parts shall be astonished at thy signs. Thou makest glad all that weave, Both the morning and the evening.

10 Thou hast visited the land, and watered it, and made it very rich. The fountain of God hath abundance of water. Thou makest her corn to grow, For thus thou makest the land.

11 Thou waterest his furrows, and wettest his plow: with rain thou makest it soft, and blessest his growth.

12 Thou crownest the year with thy goods, and thy footsteps drip with fatness.

13 The dwellings also of the wilderness are fat, that they drip; and the hills are merry round about.

14 The fields are full of sheep, and the meadows are thick with corn: they sing and rejoice.
