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.

Psalm 65

O God of Our Salvation
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song.
1Praise #Ps. 62:1 is due to you,#65:1 Or Praise waits for you in silence O God, in Zion,
and to you shall #See Ps. 50:14vows be performed.
2O you who #2 Kgs. 19:20 hear prayer,
to you #See Ps. 86:9shall all flesh come.
3When #See Ps. 38:4 iniquities prevail against me,
you #Ps. 79:9; Isa. 6:7; See Ps. 51:2atone for our transgressions.
4 # [Ps. 33:12] Blessed is the one you choose and bring near,
to #Ps. 84:4; See Ps. 27:4 dwell in your courts!
We shall be #See Ps. 16:11satisfied with the goodness of your house,
the holiness of your temple!
5By #Ps. 45:4; 106:22; Deut. 10:21; 2 Sam. 7:23; [Rev. 15:3] awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
O God of our salvation,
the hope of all #See Ps. 22:27the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas;
6the one who by his strength established the mountains,
being #Ps. 93:1girded with might;
7who #Ps. 89:9; 93:3, 4; 107:29; Matt. 8:26; [Jer. 5:22] stills the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
#
Ps. 74:23; Isa. 17:12, 13 the tumult of the peoples,
8so 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.
9You visit the earth and #Ps. 68:9; 72:6; Lev. 26:4; See Job 5:10 water it;#65:9 Or and make it overflow
you greatly enrich it;
# [Ps. 46:4] the river of God is full of water;
# [Ps. 147:14] you provide their grain,
for so you have prepared it.
10You water its furrows abundantly,
settling its ridges,
softening it with #Deut. 32:2showers,
and blessing its growth.
11You crown the year with your bounty;
your wagon tracks #Job 36:28overflow with abundance.
12 #
Joel 2:22; [Job 38:26, 27] The pastures of the wilderness overflow,
the hills #Isa. 55:12gird themselves with joy,
13 #
Isa. 30:23 the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
the valleys deck themselves with grain,
they #Ps. 98:8; [Isa. 44:23]shout and sing together for joy.
