1To the Overseer.—A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence—praise, O God, is in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.

2Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.

3Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions—Thou dost cover them.

4O the happiness of him whom Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.

5By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.

6Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,

7Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.

8And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.

Read in Logos
Psalm 65:3: When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion,

and to you shall vows be performed.

O you who hear prayer,

to you shall all flesh come.

When iniquities prevail against me,

you atone for our transgressions.

Blessed is the one you choose and bring near,

to dwell in your courts!

We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house,

the holiness of your temple!

By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,

O God of our salvation,

the hope of all the ends of the earth

and of the farthest seas;

the one who by his strength established the mountains,

being girded with might;

who stills the roaring of the seas,

the roaring of their waves,

the tumult of the peoples,

so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs.

You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion;

to you our vows will be fulfilled.

You who answer prayer,

to you all people will come.

When we were overwhelmed by sins,

you forgave our transgressions.

Blessed are those you choose

and bring near to live in your courts!

We are filled with the good things of your house,

of your holy temple.

You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,

God our Savior,

the hope of all the ends of the earth

and of the farthest seas,

who formed the mountains by your power,

having armed yourself with strength,

who stilled the roaring of the seas,

the roaring of their waves,

and the turmoil of the nations.

The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;

where morning dawns, where evening fades,

you call forth songs of joy.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Praise is rightfully yours,

God, in Zion;

vows to you will be fulfilled.

All humanity will come to you,

the one who hears prayer.

Iniquities overwhelm me;

only you can atone for our rebellions.

How happy is the one you choose

and bring near to live in your courts!

We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house,

the holiness of your temple.

You answer us in righteousness,

with awe-inspiring works,

God of our salvation,

the hope of all the ends of the earth

and of the distant seas.

You establish the mountains by your power;

you are robed with strength.

You silence the roar of the seas,

the roar of their waves,

and the tumult of the nations.

Those who live far away are awed by your signs;

you make east and west shout for joy.

NLTNew Living Translation

What mighty praise, O God,

belongs to you in Zion.

We will fulfill our vows to you,

for you answer our prayers.

All of us must come to you.

Though we are overwhelmed by our sins,

you forgive them all.

What joy for those you choose to bring near,

those who live in your holy courts.

What festivities await us

inside your holy Temple.

You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds,

O God our savior.

You are the hope of everyone on earth,

even those who sail on distant seas.

You formed the mountains by your power

and armed yourself with mighty strength.

You quieted the raging oceans

with their pounding waves

and silenced the shouting of the nations.

Those who live at the ends of the earth

stand in awe of your wonders.

From where the sun rises to where it sets,

you inspire shouts of joy.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion,

and to you the vow shall be fulfilled.

O you who hear prayer,

to you all flesh will come.

Iniquities prevail over me.

As for our transgressions, you will forgive them.

Blessed is one whom you choose and bring near,

that he may abide in your courts.

We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house,

your holy temple.

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,

who established the mountains by his strength,

the one who is girded with might,

who stills the roar of the seas,

the roar of their waves,

and the commotion of the peoples,

so that the inhabitants of the farthest reaches are in awe of your signs.

You make the dawn and sunset sing for joy.

KJV 1900King James Version

Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion:

And unto thee shall the vow be performed.

O thou that hearest prayer,

Unto thee shall all flesh come.

Iniquities prevail against me:

As for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest,

And causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts:

We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house,

Even of thy holy temple.

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation;

Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;

Being girded with power:

Which stilleth the noise of the seas,

The noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens:

Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
