God’s Care for the Earth
For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. A song.
1Praise is rightfully Yours, # 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 # Or can forgive, or can wipe out 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,
the holiness of Your temple. # 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 # Some LXX mss, Vg; MT reads His power,
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 # Lit prepare it 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 ways overflow with plenty. # Lit ways 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
65
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. A Song.
1To 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.
9Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God [is] full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,
10Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.
11Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.
12Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
13Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout — yea, they sing!
