For the music director. A Psalm of David. A Song.

1 There will be silence *65:1 Lit tobefore You, and praise in Zion, God,

And the vow will be fulfilled for You.

2 You who hear prayer,

To You all *65:2 Lit flesh comesmankind comes.

3 * 65:3 Or Confessions of wrongdoings Wrongdoings prevail against me;

As for our offenses, You *65:3 Lit cover, atone forforgive them.

4 Blessed is the one You choose and allow to approach You;

He will dwell in Your courtyards.

We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,

Your holy temple.

5 By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, God of our salvation,

You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and the farthest *65:5 Or seassea;

6 Who establishes the mountains by His strength,

Who is encircled with might;

7 Who stills the roaring of the seas,

The roaring of their waves,

And the turmoil of the nations.

8 They who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs;

You make the *65:8 Lit outgoings of the morning and eveningsunrise and the sunset shout for joy.

9 You visit the earth and cause it to overflow;

You greatly enrich it;

The *65:9 Or channelstream of God is full of water;

You prepare their grain, for so You prepare *65:9 Lit itthe earth.

10 You water its furrows abundantly,

You *65:10 Or smoothsettle its ridges,

You soften it with showers,

You bless its growth.

11 You have crowned the year *65:11 Lit ofwith Your goodness,

And Your *65:11 I.e., wagon trackspaths drip with fatness.

12 The pastures of the wilderness drip,

And the hills encircle themselves with rejoicing.

13 The meadows are clothed with flocks

And the valleys are covered with grain;

They shout for joy, yes, they sing.
