Psalms 65
65
Thanksgiving for God’s Provision
For the music director. A psalm of David. A song.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion,
and to you the vow shall be fulfilled.
2O you who hear prayer,
to you all flesh will come.
3Iniquities#Hebrew “matters of iniquities” prevail over me.
As for our transgressions, you will forgive#Literally “provide atonement for” them.
4Blessed is one whom you choose and bring near,
that he may abide in your courts.
We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house,
your holy temple.
5By awesome deeds in righteousness you will answer us,
O God of our salvation,
you who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth
and of the far-off seas,
6who established the mountains by his strength,
the one who is girded with might,
7who stills the roar of the seas,
the roar of their waves,
and the commotion of the peoples,
8so that#Hebrew “and” the inhabitants of the farthest reaches are in awe of your signs.
You make the dawn and sunset sing for joy.
9You care for#Or “visit” the land#Or “earth” and water it;
you greatly enrich it.
The stream of God is filled with waters.
You provide their grain,
for so you have established it.
10You drench its furrows,
penetrating its ridges.
With rains you soften it;
its growth you bless.
11You crown the year with your bounty,#Literally “goodness”
and your wagon paths drip with richness.#Literally “fatness”
12They drop on the pastures of the wilderness,
and the hills gird themselves with joy.
13The pasturelands put on flocks,
and the valleys clothe themselves with grain.
They shout in triumph;
they even sing.

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.
