Psalms 65

Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion; and to you shall vows be performed in Jerusalem,

O you who hear prayer! To you shall all flesh come

on account of sins. When our transgressions prevail over us, you forgive them.

Blessed is he whom you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, your holy temple!

By dread deeds you answer us with deliverance, O God of our salvation, who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of the farthest seas;

who by your strength have established the mountains, being girded with might;

who still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples;

so that those who dwell at earth’s farthest bounds are afraid at your signs; you make the outgoings of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.

You visit the earth and water it, you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide their grain, for so you have prepared it.

You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth.

You crown the year with your bounty; the tracks of your chariot overflow with richness.

The pastures of the wilderness drip, the hills gird themselves with joy,

the meadows clothe themselves with flocks, the valleys deck themselves with grain, they shout and sing together for joy.
