Context of Psalms 65:5
3Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. 4Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach to thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. 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: 6Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power: 7Who stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
