Psalm, 65

To the director. A melody of David. A song.

¹ Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion; We will pay our vows to you.

² O Hearer of prayer, to you people of all sorts^*1 will come.

³ My errors have overwhelmed me, But you cover over our transgressions.

⁴ Happy is the one whom you choose and bring near To reside in your courtyards. We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, Your holy temple.^*1

⁵ You will answer us with awe-inspiring deeds of righteousness, O God of our salvation; You are the Confidence of all the ends of the earth And of those distant across the sea.

⁶ You^*1 firmly established the mountains by your power; You^*2 are clothed with mightiness.

⁷ You^*1 calm the raging seas, The crash of their waves and the turmoil of the nations.

⁸ The inhabitants of remote places will be awestruck by your signs; You will cause those from the sunrise to the sunset to shout joyfully.

⁹ You care for the earth, Making it abundantly fruitful^*1 and very rich. The stream from God is full of water; You provide grain for them, For that is how you prepared the earth.

¹⁰ You drench its furrows and level off its plowed soil;^*1 You soften it with showers of rain; you bless its growth.

¹¹ You crown the year with your goodness; Your tracks overflow with abundance.^*1

¹² The pastures of the wilderness keep overflowing,^*1 And the hills are clothed with joyfulness.

¹³ The pastures are covered with flocks, And the valleys^*1 are carpeted with grain. They shout in triumph, yes, they sing.
