The Psalms 65


Praise for God’s Bounty in Nature
To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.

1  Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion:
        
and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2  O thou that hearest prayer,
        
unto thee shall all flesh come.
3  Iniquities prevail against me:
        
as for our transgressions,
thou shalt purge them away.
4  Blessed is the man whom thou choosest,
        
and causest to approach unto thee,
that he may dwell in thy courts:
we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house,
even of thy holy temple.
5  By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us,
        
O God of our salvation;
who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6  which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;
        
being girded with power:
7  which stilleth the noise of the seas,
        
the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8  They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens:
        
thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9  Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it:
        
thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water:
thou preparest them corn,
when thou hast so provided for it.
10  Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly:
        
thou settlest the furrows thereof:
thou makest it soft with showers:
thou blessest the springing thereof.
11  Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;
        
and thy paths drop fatness.
12  They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness:
        
and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13  The pastures are clothed with flocks;
        
the valleys also are covered over with corn;
they shout for joy, they also sing.
