Psalms 65

To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.

1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.*65.1 waiteth: Heb. is silent

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.*65.3 Iniquities: Heb. Words, or, Matters of iniquities

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.*65.8 rejoice: or, sing

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.*65.9 and…: or, after thou hadst made it to desire rain

10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.*65.10 settlest: or, causest rain to descend into*65.10 makest…: Heb. dissolvest it

11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.*65.11 with: Heb. of

12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.*65.12 rejoice…: Heb. are girded with joy

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

颂赞 神的恩慈

歌一首，大卫的诗，交给诗班长。 1 　神啊！在锡安城里，

人们都在等候要颂赞你，

他们也要向你偿还所许的愿。

2 听祷告的主啊！

所有的人都要到你面前来。

3 罪孽胜过了我，

但我们的过犯，你都必赦免。

4 你所拣选，使他亲近你，

可以住在你院子中的人，是有福的！

愿我们因你的居所，就是你圣殿的美福心满意足。

5 拯救我们的　神啊！

你必充满威严，按公义应允我们；

你本是一切地极和海洋远处的人所倚靠的。

6 你以大能束腰，

用自己的力量坚立众山。

7 你平息了海洋的洪涛和澎湃的巨浪，

以及万民的喧哗。

8 因此，住在地极的人都因你的神迹起了敬畏的心；

你使日出和日落之地的人都欢呼歌唱。

9 你眷顾大地，普降甘霖，

使地甚为肥沃；

神的河满了水，

好为人预备五谷；

你就这样预备了大地。

10 你灌溉地的犁沟，润平犁脊，

又降雨露使地松软，

并且赐福给地上所生长的。

11 你以恩典为年岁的冠冕，

你的路径都滴下脂油，

12 滴在旷野的草场上；

群山以欢乐束腰，

13 牧场以羊群为衣，

山谷都盖满了五谷；

这一切都欢呼歌唱。
