Psalm 65 (New International Version)

Psalm 65

For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.

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

 ³ When we were overwhelmed by sins,
       you forgave ^[b] our transgressions.

 ⁴ Blessed 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.

 ⁵ You 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,

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

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

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

 ⁹ You 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. ^[c]

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

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

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

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