Psalm 65

[1]   Praise is due to you,  

          O God, in Zion;  

     and to you shall vows be performed,  

[2]        O you who answer prayer!  

     To you all flesh shall come.  

[3]   When deeds of iniquity overwhelm us,  

          you forgive our transgressions.  

[4]   Happy are those whom you choose and bring near  

          to live in your courts.  

     We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house,  

          your holy temple.

[5]   By awesome deeds you answer us with deliverance,  

          O God of our salvation;  

     you are the hope of all the ends of the earth  

          and of the farthest seas.  

[6]   By your strength you established the mountains;  

          you are girded with might.  

[7]   You silence the roaring of the seas,  

          the roaring of their waves,  

          the tumult of the peoples.  

[8]   Those who live at earth's farthest bounds are awed by your signs;  

          you make the gateways of the morning and the evening shout for joy.

[9]   You visit the earth and water it,   

          you greatly enrich it;  

     the river of God is full of water;  

          you provide the people with grain,  

          for so you have prepared it.  

[10]  You water its furrows abundantly,  

          settling its ridges,  

     softening it with showers,  

          and blessing its growth.  

[11]  You crown the year with your bounty;  

          your wagon tracks overflow with richness.  

[12]  The pastures of the wilderness overflow,  

          the hills gird themselves with joy,  

[13]  the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,  

          the valleys deck themselves with grain,  

          they shout and sing together for joy.
