Psalms 65

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song.

1 Praise waiteth for thee in silence, O God*GodHebrew: Elohim in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed. 2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. 3 Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them. 4 Blessed is he whom thou choosest and causest to approach: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, of thy holy temple. 5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God*GodHebrew: Elohim of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of the sea. ...

6 Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power; 7 Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples. 8 And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens; thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. 9 Thou hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God*GodHebrew: Elohim is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it: 10 Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, 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 hills are girded with gladness. 13 The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm. A Song of David.

1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion;

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 wilt forgive them.

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,

Thy holy temple.

5 By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness,

O God of our salvation,

Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth,

And of them that are afar off upon the sea:

6 Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains,

Being girded about with might;

7 Who stilleth the roaring of the seas,

The roaring of their waves,

And the tumult of the peoples.

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;

The river of God is full of water:

Thou providest them grain, when thou hast so prepared the earth.

10 Thou waterest its furrows abundantly;

Thou settlest the ridges 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 hills are girded with joy.

13 The pastures are clothed with flocks;

The valleys also are covered over with grain;

They shout for joy, they also sing.
