Psalms 65

Praise waits for you, God, in Sion, and the vow will be performed to you. You who hear prayer — all flesh will come to you. Things I've done wrong overwhelm me. As for our rebellions, you'll defend them over. Blessed is the man you choose and bring near to live in your courts. We'll be filled with the good of your house, your holy temple.

You crown the year

Praise waits for you, God, in Sion, and the vow will be performed to you. You who hear prayer — all flesh will come to you. Things I've done wrong overwhelm me. As for our rebellions, you'll defend them over. Blessed is the man you choose and bring near to live in your courts. We'll be filled with the good of your house, your holy temple. You'll answer us with terrifying things in righteousness, God of our salvation — the hope of all the ends of the earth and of those far off on the sea. You established the mountains with your strength, clothed with power. You quiet the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves and the uproar of the peoples. And those living in the far parts are afraid at your signs. You make the going out of the morning and the evening shout for joy. You visit the earth and water it. You make it very rich. The river of God is full of water. You get their grain ready, because that's how you've set it up. You water its ridges abundantly and settle its furrows; you make it soft with showers and bless its growth. You crown the year with your goodness, and your paths overflow with abundance. They drip on the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are clothed with joy. The pastures are dressed in flocks and the valleys are covered with grain. They shout for joy and they sing.

Praise waits for you, God, in Zion, and the vow will be paid to you. You who hear prayer — all flesh will come to you. Things I've done wrong overwhelm me. As for our rebellions, you'll cover them over. Happy is the man you choose and bring near to live in your courts. We'll be filled with the good of your house, your holy temple. You'll answer us with terrifying things in righteousness, God of our salvation — the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the ones far off on the sea. You set the mountains up with your strength, strapped with power. You quiet the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves and the uproar of the peoples. And the ones living in the far parts are afraid at your signs. You make the going out of the morning and the evening sing out. You visit the earth and water it. You make it very rich. The river of God is full of water. You get their grain ready, because that's how you've set it up. You soak its furrows and settle its ridges. You make it soft with showers. You bless its growth. You crown the year with your goodness, and your tracks drip with fatness. They drip on the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are strapped with celebrating. The pastures are dressed in flocks and the valleys are covered with grain. They shout for joy and they sing.

Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea: Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power: Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
