Psalms 65

   |   

God's Abundant Favor to Earth and Man.

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

1 There will be silence [a]before You, and praise in Zion, O God,
And to You the (a)vow will be performed.
2 O You who hear prayer,
To You (b)all [b]men come.
3 [c](c)Iniquities prevail against me;
As for our transgressions, You [d](d)forgive them.
4 How (e)blessed is the one whom You (f)choose and bring near to You
To dwell in Your courts.
We will be (g)satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

5 By (h)awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O (i)God of our salvation,
You who are the trust of all the (j)ends of the earth and of the farthest [e](k)sea;
6 Who (l)establishes the mountains by His strength,
Being (m)girded with might;
7 Who (n)stills the roaring of the seas,
The roaring of their waves,
And the (o)tumult of the peoples.
8 They who dwell in the (p)ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs;
You make the [f]dawn and the sunset shout for joy.

9 You visit the earth and (q)cause it to overflow;
You greatly (r)enrich it;
The [g](s)stream of God is full of water;
You prepare their (t)grain, for thus You prepare [h]the earth.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
You [i]settle its ridges,
You soften it (u)with showers,
You bless its growth.
11 You have crowned the year [j]with Your [k](v)bounty,
And Your [l]paths (w)drip with fatness.
12 (x)The pastures of the wilderness drip,
And the (y)hills gird themselves with rejoicing.
13 The meadows are (z)clothed with flocks
And the valleys are (aa)covered with grain;
They (ab)shout for joy, yes, they sing.
