Psalm 65

Psalm 65

For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.

^*Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion;^a

to you our vows will be fulfilled.^b

You who answer prayer,

to you all people will come.^c

When we were overwhelmed by sins,^d

you forgave our transgressions.^e

Blessed are those you choose^f

and bring near^g to live in your courts!

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

of your holy temple.

You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,ⁱ

God our Savior,^j

the hope of all the ends of the earth^k

and of the farthest seas,^l

who formed the mountains^m by your power,

having armed yourself with strength,ⁿ

who stilled the roaring of the seas,^o

the roaring of their waves,

and the turmoil of the nations.^p

The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;

where morning dawns, where evening fades,

you call forth songs of joy.^q

You care for the land and water it;^r

you enrich it abundantly.^s

The streams of God are filled with water

to provide the people with grain,^t

for so you have ordained it.

You drench its furrows and level its ridges;

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

You crown the year with your bounty,^v

and your carts overflow with abundance.^w

The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;^x

the hills are clothed with gladness.^y

The meadows are covered with flocks^z

and the valleys are mantled with grain;^a

they shout for joy and sing.^b
