Psalm 65
For the music leader. A psalm of David. A song.
1God of Zion, to you even silence is praise.
Promises made to you are kept—
2you listen to prayer—
and all living things come to you.
3When wrongdoings become too much for me,
you forgive our sins.
4How happy is the one you choose to bring close,
the one who lives in your courtyards!
We are filled full by the goodness of your house,
by the holiness of your temple.
5In righteousness you answer us,
by your awesome deeds,
God of our salvation—
you, who are the security
of all the far edges of the earth,
even the distant seas.
6You establish the mountains by your strength;
you are dressed in raw power.
7You calm the roaring seas;
calm the roaring waves,
calm the noise of the nations.
8Those who dwell on the far edges
stand in awe of your acts.
You make the gateways
of morning and evening sing for joy.
9You visit the earth and make it abundant,
enriching it greatly
by God’s stream, full of water.
You provide people with grain
because that is what you’ve decided.
10Drenching the earth’s furrows,
leveling its ridges,
you soften it with rain showers;
you bless its growth.
11You crown the year with your goodness;
your paths overflow with rich food.
12Even the desert pastures drip with it,
and the hills are dressed in pure joy.
13The meadowlands are covered with flocks,
the valleys decked out in grain—
they shout for joy;
they break out in song!

Psalms 65
65
Psalm 65
For the choir director; a psalm by David; a song.
1You are praised with silence in Zion, O God,
and vows ⌞made⌟ to you must be kept.
2You are the one who hears prayers.
Everyone will come to you.
3Various sins overwhelm me.
You are the one who forgives our rebellious acts.
4Blessed is the person you choose
and invite to live with you in your courtyards.
We will be filled with good food from your house,
from your holy temple.
5You answer us with awe-inspiring acts ⌞done⌟ in righteousness,
O God, our savior,
the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the most distant sea,
6the one who set the mountains in place with his strength,
the one who is clothed with power,
7the one who calms the roar of the seas,
their crashing waves,
and the uproar of the nations.
8Those who live at the ends of the earth are in awe of your miraculous signs.
The lands of the morning sunrise and evening sunset sing joyfully.
9You take care of the earth, and you water it.
You make it much richer than it was.
(The river of God is filled with water.)
You provide grain for them.
Indeed, you even prepare the ground.
10You drench plowed fields ⌞with rain⌟
and level their clumps of soil.
You soften them with showers
and bless what grows in them.
11You crown the year with your goodness,
and richness overflows wherever you are.
12The pastures in the desert overflow ⌞with richness⌟.
The hills are surrounded with joy.
13The pastures are covered with flocks.
The valleys are carpeted with grain.
All of them shout triumphantly. Indeed, they sing.
