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.
