Psalm 65
God’s Care for the Earth
For the choir director. A psalm of David. A song.
1Praise is rightfully yours,#65:1 Or Praise is silence to you, or Praise awaits you
God, in Zion;
vows to you will be fulfilled.#Ps 50:14; 116:18
2All humanity will come to you,
the one who hears prayer.#Ps 86:9; Is 2:2–4; 66:23
3Iniquities overwhelm me;
only you can atone for our rebellions.#Ps 38:14; 40:12; 79:9
4How happy is the one you choose
and bring near to live in your courts!
We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house,#Ps 17:15; Jr 31:14
the holiness of your temple.#65:4 Or house, your holy temple#Ps 27:4; 84:4
5You 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.#Dt 10:21; 2Sm 7:23; Ps 46:8
6You establish the mountains by your power;
you are robed with strength.#Ps 93:1; Am 4:13
7You silence the roar of the seas,
the roar of their waves,
and the tumult of the nations.#Ps 107:29; Is 17:13; Mt 8:26
8Those who live far away are awed by your signs;
you make east and west shout for joy.#Ps 2:8; 139:9; Is 24:16
9You visit the earth and water it abundantly,
enriching it greatly.
God’s stream is filled with water,
for you prepare the earth in this way,
providing people with grain.#Ps 104:13; 147:8; Is 45:8
10You soften it with showers and bless its growth,
soaking its furrows and leveling its ridges.#Dt 3:22; Ps 72:6; 147:8
11You crown the year with your goodness;
your carts overflow with plenty.#65:11 Lit your paths drip with fat#Ps 104:28; 147:14
12The wilderness pastures overflow,
and the hills are robed with joy.#Jb 38:26–27; Is 55:12; Jl 2:22
13The pastures are clothed with flocks
and the valleys covered with grain.#Ps 72:16; 144:13; Is 30:23
They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.#Is 44:23

Psalms 65

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.
