Psalms 65
Psalm 65[a]
For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.
1 Praise awaits[b] you, our God, in Zion;(a)
to you our vows will be fulfilled.(b)
2 You who answer prayer,
to you all people will come.(c)
3 When we were overwhelmed by sins,(d)
you forgave[c] our transgressions.(e)
4 Blessed are those you choose(f)
and bring near(g) to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of your house,(h)
of your holy temple.
5 You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,(i)
God our Savior,(j)
the hope of all the ends of the earth(k)
and of the farthest seas,(l)
6 who formed the mountains(m) by your power,
having armed yourself with strength,(n)
7 who stilled the roaring of the seas,(o)
the roaring of their waves,
and the turmoil of the nations.(p)
8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
where morning dawns, where evening fades,
you call forth songs of joy.(q)
9 You care for the land and water it;(r)
you enrich it abundantly.(s)
The streams of God are filled with water
to provide the people with grain,(t)
for so you have ordained it.[d]
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
you soften it with showers(u) and bless its crops.
11 You crown the year with your bounty,(v)
and your carts overflow with abundance.(w)
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;(x)
the hills are clothed with gladness.(y)
13 The meadows are covered with flocks(z)
and the valleys are mantled with grain;(aa)
they shout for joy and sing.(ab)
