Psalm 65
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.
1 Praise waits
for you, God, in Zion.
Vows shall be performed
to you.
2 You who hear
prayer,
all men will come to
you.
3 Sins overwhelmed
me,
but you atoned
for our transgressions.
4 Blessed is
the one whom
you choose and
cause to come near,
that he may live
in your courts.
We will be filled
with the goodness
of your house,
your holy temple.
5 By awesome
deeds of righteousness, you answer
us,
God of our salvation.
You who are
the hope of all
the ends of
the earth,
of those who
are far away on
the sea.
6 By
your power, you form
the mountains,
having armed yourself with strength.
7 You still
the roaring of
the seas,
the roaring of
their waves,
and the turmoil
of the nations.
8 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 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 You drench
its furrows.
You level its ridges.
You soften it
with showers.
You bless it with
a crop.
11 You crown
the year with
your bounty.
Your carts overflow with abundance.
12 The wilderness grasslands overflow.
The hills are clothed
with gladness.
13 The
pastures are covered
with flocks.
The valleys also are
clothed with grain.
They shout for joy!
They also sing.
