Salmos 65

Gratidão pelas colheitas

Ao mestre de canto. De Davi. Cântico

1 A ti, ó Deus, o louvor

é devido em Sião,

e a ti se pagarão os votos.

2 Ó tu que escutas a oração,

a ti virão todas as pessoas,

3 por causa de suas iniquidades.

Se prevalecem

as nossas transgressões,

tu as perdoas.

4 Bem-aventurado

aquele a quem escolhes

e aproximas de ti, para que habite

nos teus átrios.

Ficaremos satisfeitos

com a bondade de tua casa —

o teu santo templo.

5 Com tremendos feitos

nos respondes

em tua justiça,

ó Deus, Salvador nosso,

esperança de todos os confins

da terra

e dos mares longínquos.

6 Com a tua força

consolidas os montes,

cingido de poder.

7 Tu acalmas o rugido dos mares,

o ruído das suas ondas

e o tumulto dos povos.

8 Os que habitam

nos confins da terra

temem os teus sinais;

os que vêm do Oriente

e do Ocidente,

tu os fazes exultar de júbilo.

9 Tu visitas a terra e a regas;

tu a enriqueces grandemente.

Os ribeiros de Deus

são abundantes de água;

provês o cereal,

porque para isso preparas a terra,

10 regando-lhe os sulcos

e desmanchando os torrões.

Tu a amoleces com chuviscos

e lhe abençoas a produção.

11 Coroas o ano da tua bondade;

as tuas pegadas destilam fartura,

12 destilam sobre as pastagens

do deserto,

e de júbilo se revestem as colinas.

13 Os campos se cobrem

de rebanhos,

e os vales se enchem de espigas;

exultam de alegria e cantam.

For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.

1 Praise awaits*65:1 Or befits; the meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. you, our God, in Zion;

to you our vows will be fulfilled.

2 You who answer prayer,

to you all people will come.

3 When we were overwhelmed by sins,

you forgave*65:3 Or made atonement for our transgressions.

4 Blessed are those you choose

and bring near to live in your courts!

We are filled with the good things of your house,

of your holy temple.

5 You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,

God our Savior,

the hope of all the ends of the earth

and of the farthest seas,

6 who formed the mountains by your power,

having armed yourself with strength,

7 who stilled the roaring of the seas,

the roaring of their waves,

and the turmoil of the nations.

8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;

where morning dawns, where evening fades,

you call forth songs of joy.

9 You care for the land and water it;

you enrich it abundantly.

The streams of God are filled with water

to provide the people with grain,

for so you have ordained it.*65:9 Or for that is how you prepare the land

10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;

you soften it with showers and bless its crops.

11 You crown the year with your bounty,

and your carts overflow with abundance.

12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;

the hills are clothed with gladness.

13 The meadows are covered with flocks

and the valleys are mantled with grain;

they shout for joy and sing.
