Psa65

Psalms – Chapter 65

¹For the leader. A psalm of David. A song.

I

²To you we owe our hymn of praise,

O God on Zion;

To you our vows must be fulfilled,

³you who hear our prayers.

To you all flesh must come

⁴with its burden of wicked deeds.

We are overcome by our sins;

only you can pardon them.

⁵Blessed the one whom you will choose and bring

to dwell in your courts.

May we be filled with the good things of your house,

your holy temple!

II

⁶You answer us with awesome deeds of justice,

O God our savior,

The hope of all the ends of the earth

and of those far off across the sea.

⁷You are robed in power,

you set up the mountains by your might.

⁸You still the roaring of the seas,

the roaring of their waves,

the tumult of the peoples.

⁹Distant peoples stand in awe of your marvels;

the places of morning and evening you make resound with joy.

¹⁰You visit the earth and water it,

make it abundantly fertile.

God’s stream is filled with water;

you supply their grain.

Thus do you prepare it:

¹¹you drench its plowed furrows,

and level its ridges.

With showers you keep it soft,

blessing its young sprouts.

¹²You adorn the year with your bounty;

your paths drip with fruitful rain.

¹³The meadows of the wilderness also drip;

the hills are robed with joy.

¹⁴The pastures are clothed with flocks,

the valleys blanketed with grain;

they cheer and sing for joy.
