Psalm 65:1–13

¹Praise awaits^b you, our God, in Zion;^x

to you our vows will be fulfilled.^y

²You who answer prayer,

to you all people will come.^z

³When we were overwhelmed by sins,^a

you forgave^c our transgressions.^b

⁴Blessed are those you choose^c

and bring near^d to live in your courts!

We are filled with the good things of your house,^e

of your holy temple.

⁵You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,^f

God our Savior,^g

the hope of all the ends of the earth^h

and of the farthest seas,ⁱ

⁶who formed the mountains^j by your power,

having armed yourself with strength,^k

⁷who stilled the roaring of the seas,^l

the roaring of their waves,

and the turmoil of the nations.^m

⁸The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;

where morning dawns, where evening fades,

you call forth songs of joy.ⁿ

⁹You care for the land and water it;^o

you enrich it abundantly.^p

The streams of God are filled with water

to provide the people with grain,^q

for so you have ordained it.^d

¹⁰You drench its furrows and level its ridges;

you soften it with showers^r and bless its crops.

¹¹You crown the year with your bounty,^s

and your carts overflow with abundance.^t

¹²The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;^u

the hills are clothed with gladness.^v

¹³The meadows are covered with flocks^w

and the valleys are mantled with grain;^x

they shout for joy and sing.^y
