Psalm 65

1 You are to be praised, O God, in Zion; *

to you shall vows be performed in Jerusalem.

2 To you that hear prayer shall all flesh come, *

because of their transgressions.

3 Our sins are stronger than we are, *

but you will blot them out.

4 Happy are they whom you choose

and draw to your courts to dwell there! *

they will be satisfied by the beauty of your house,

by the holiness of your temple.

5 Awesome things will you show us in your righteousness,

O God of our salvation, *

O Hope of all the ends of the earth

and of the seas that are far away.

6 You make fast the mountains by your power; *

they are girded about with might.

7 You still the roaring of the seas, *

the roaring of their waves,

and the clamor of the peoples.

8 Those who dwell at the ends of the earth will tremble at your

marvelous signs; *

you make the dawn and the dusk to sing for joy.

9 You visit the earth and water it abundantly;

you make it very plenteous; *

the river of God is full of water.

10 You prepare the grain, *

for so you provide for the earth.

11 You drench the furrows and smooth out the ridges; *

with heavy rain you soften the ground and bless its increase.

12 You crown the year with your goodness, *

and your paths overflow with plenty.

13 May the fields of the wilderness be rich for grazing, *

and the hills be clothed with joy.

14 May the meadows cover themselves with flocks,

and the valleys cloak themselves with grain; *

let them shout for joy and sing.
