Psalms 65

To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.

1PraiseH8416 waitethH1747 for thee, O GodH430, in ZionH6726: and unto thee shall the vowH5088 be performedH7999.1

2O thou that hearestH8085 prayerH8605, unto thee shall all fleshH1320 comeH935.

3IniquitiesH5771H1697 prevailH1396 against me: as for our transgressionsH6588, thou shalt purge them awayH3722.2

4BlessedH835 is the man whom thou choosestH977, and causest to approachH7126 unto thee, that he may dwellH7931 in thy courtsH2691: we shall be satisfiedH7646 with the goodnessH2898 of thy houseH1004, even of thy holyH6918 templeH1964.

5By terrible thingsH3372 in righteousnessH6664 wilt thou answerH6030 us, O GodH430 of our salvationH3468; who art the confidenceH4009 of all the endsH7099 of the earthH776, and of them that are afar offH7350 upon the seaH3220:

6Which by his strengthH3581 setteth fastH3559 the mountainsH2022; being girdedH247 with powerH1369:

7Which stillethH7623 the noiseH7588 of the seasH3220, the noiseH7588 of their wavesH1530, and the tumultH1995 of the peopleH3816.

8They also that dwellH3427 in the uttermost partsH7099 are afraidH3372 at thy tokensH226: thou makest the outgoingsH4161 of the morningH1242 and eveningH6153 to rejoiceH7442.3

9Thou visitestH6485 the earthH776, and waterestH7783 it: thou greatlyH7227 enrichestH6238 it with the riverH6388 of GodH430, which is fullH4390 of waterH4325: thou preparestH3559 them grainH1715, when thou hast so providedH3559 for it.4

10Thou waterestH7301 the ridgesH8525 thereof abundantlyH7301: thou settlestH5181 the furrowsH1418H1417 thereof: thou makest it softH4127 with showersH7241: thou blessestH1288 the springingH6780 thereof.56

11Thou crownestH5849 the yearH8141 with thy goodnessH2896; and thy pathsH4570 dropH7491 fatnessH1880.7

12They dropH7491 upon the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057: and the little hillsH1389 rejoiceH1524 on every sideH2296.8

13The pasturesH3733 are clothedH3847 with flocksH6629; the valleysH6010 also are covered overH5848 with grainH1250; they shout for joyH7321, they also singH7891.
