Psalms 65
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. A song.
2 Praise waits for you in silence, O God, in Zion; to you the vow will be fulfilled.
3 You who hear prayer, all humanity will come to you.
4 Guilt overwhelms me, but you forgive our transgressions.
5 Happy is the one you choose and bring near to live in your courts. We will feast on the goodness of your house, your holy temple.
6 With awesome deeds, in your righteousness, you answer us, O God of our salvation, hope of all the ends of the earth and of distant seas.
7 You set the mountains firm by your strength, girded with power.
8 You still the roar of the seas, the roar of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
9 Those who live at the ends of the earth fear your signs; you make the dawn and evening sing for joy.
10 You care for the earth and water it; you greatly enrich it. God's stream is full of water; you prepare their grain, for this is how you prepare the earth.
11 You soak its furrows and level its ridges; with showers you soften it and bless what it sprouts.
12 You crown the year with your goodness, and your paths overflow with abundance.
13 The pastures of the wilderness overflow, and the hills gird themselves with joy.
14 The fields are covered with flocks, and the valleys are clothed with grain; they shout for joy and sing.
