PSALM 65
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise waits for thee in Sion, Lord:
to thee vows paid shall be.
2O thou that hearer art of pray'r,
all flesh shall come to thee.
3Iniquities, I must confess,
prevail against me do:
But as for our transgressions,
them purge away shalt thou.
4Bless'd is the man whom thou dost chuse,
and mak'st approach to thee,
That he within thy courts, O Lord,
may still a dweller be:
We surely shall be satisfy'd
with thy abundant grace,
And with the goodness of thy house,
ev'n of thy holy place.
5O God of our salvation,
thou, in thy righteousness,
By fearful works unto our pray'rs
thine answer dost express:
Therefore the ends of all the earth,
and those afar that be
Upon the sea, their confidence,
O Lord, will place in thee.
6Who, being girt with pow'r, sets fast
by his great strength the hills.
7Who noise of seas, noise of their waves,
and people's tumult, stills.
8Those in the utmost parts that dwell
are at thy signs afraid:
Th' outgoings of the morn and ev'n
by thee are joyful made.
9The earth thou visit'st, wat'ring it;
thou mak'st it rich to grow
With God's full flood; thou corn prepar'st,
when thou provid'st it so.
10Her rigs thou wat'rest plenteously,
her furrows settelest:
With show'rs thou dost her mollify,
her spring by thee is blest.
11So thou the year most lib'rally
dost with thy goodness crown;
And all thy paths abundantly
on us drop fatness down.
12They drop upon the pastures wide,
that do in deserts lie;
The little hills on ev'ry side
rejoice right pleasantly.
13With flocks the pastures clothed be,
the vales with corn are clad;
And now they shout and sing to thee,
for thou hast made them glad.

Psalms 65
65
For the music director. A psalm of David. A song.
1God, you deserve to be praised, and in Zion we will keep our promises to you.#65:1. Or “a vow to you will be fulfilled in Zion.”
2You hear our prayers; everyone comes to you.
3Even though we're drowning in our sins and our disobedience, you forgive us.
4Happy are those you choose to keep close to you, those who live in your courts! We are delighted with the blessings we receive in your house, your holy Temple!
5In your goodness you answer us through the wonderful things you do, God of our salvation. You can be trusted by everyone on earth, including those sailing distant oceans.
6You made the mountains by your power, for you have great strength.#65:6. Literally, “you are girded with might.”
7You calm the raging seas and crashing waves, you silence the noisy shouts of the nations.
8Everyone, even those in distant lands, are amazed by the wonderful things you do, from the east to the west they sing for joy.
9You care for the earth and water it; you make it very productive. God, your river is full of water to grow the grain—this is what you have planned.
10You fill the plowed furrows with water, you soften the ridges; you bless the growing crops.
11You make the high point of the year a wonderful harvest, filling the wagons with good things.#65:11. Literally, “You crown the year with your bounty; your wagon-tracks drip with fatness.”
12The pastures in the wilderness grow lush; the hillsides are clothed in bright flowers.
13The meadows are covered with flocks of sheep, and the valleys with fields of grain. Everything triumphantly sings for joy.
