Psalms 65

¹Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled.

²O you who hear prayer, to you all men will come.

³When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions.

⁴Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple.

⁵You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas,

⁶who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength,

⁷who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.

⁸Those living far away fear your wonders; where morning dawns and evening fades you call forth songs of joy.

⁹You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it.

¹⁰You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops.

¹¹You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance.

¹²The grasslands of the desert overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness.

¹³The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing.
