Psalm 65

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.

65:2

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

65:3

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

65:4

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.

65:5

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.

65:6

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

65:7

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

65:8

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

65:9

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.

65:10

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

65:11

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

65:12

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

65:13

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