Psalm 65–67
Praise to God for His Salvation and Providence
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.
1 Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion;
And to You the 1vow shall be performed.
aTo You all flesh will come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me;
As for our transgressions,
You will bprovide atonement for them.
4 cBlessed is the man You dchoose,
And cause to approach You,
That he may dwell in Your courts.
eWe shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Of Your holy temple.
5 By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us,
O God of our salvation,
You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
And of the far-off seas;
6 Who established the mountains by His strength,
fBeing clothed with power;
7 gYou who still the noise of the seas,
The noise of their waves,
hAnd the tumult of the peoples.
8 They also who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs;
You make the outgoings of the morning and evening 2rejoice.
9 You 3visit the earth and iwater it,
You greatly enrich it;
jThe river of God is full of water;
You provide their grain,
For so You have prepared it.
10 You water its ridges abundantly,
You settle its furrows;
You make it soft with showers,
You bless its growth.
11 You crown the year with Your goodness,
And Your paths drip with abundance.
12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness,
And the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks;
kThe valleys also are covered with grain;
They shout for joy, they also sing.
Praise to God for His Awesome Works
To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm.
1 Make aa joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2 Sing out the honor of His name;
Make His praise glorious.
“How bawesome are Your works!
cThrough the greatness of Your power
Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.
4 dAll the earth shall worship You
And sing praises to You;
They shall sing praises to Your name.”
Selah
5 Come and see the works of God;
He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
6 eHe turned the sea into dry land;
fThey went through the river on foot.
There we will rejoice in Him.
7 He rules by His power forever;
His eyes observe the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.
Selah
8 Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
9 Who keeps our soul among the living,
And does not allow our feet to 1be moved.
10 For gYou, O God, have tested us;
hYou have refined us as silver is refined.
11 iYou brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
12 jYou have caused men to ride over our heads;
kWe went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to 2rich fulfillment.
13 lI will go into Your house with burnt offerings;
And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,
With the sweet aroma of rams;
I will offer bulls with goats.
Selah
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was 4extolled with my tongue.
18 nIf I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
19 But certainly God ohas heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!
To the Chief Musician. On 1Stringed Instruments. A Psalm. A Song.
1 God be merciful to us and bless us,
And acause His face to shine upon us,
Selah
2 That bYour way may be known on earth,
cYour salvation among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
4 Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!
For dYou shall judge the people righteously,
And govern the nations on earth.
Selah
5 Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
6 eThen the earth shall 2yield her increase;
God, our own God, shall bless us.
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.
