頌讚主恩因聽其祈

65 大衛的詩歌,交於伶長。

神啊,錫安的人都等候讚美你,所許的願也要向你償還。
聽禱告的主啊,凡有血氣的都要來就你。
罪孽勝了我,至於我們的過犯,你都要赦免。
你所揀選使他親近你,住在你院中的,這人便為有福!我們必因你居所,你聖殿的美福知足了。
拯救我們的神啊,你必以威嚴秉公義應允我們,你本是一切地極和海上遠處的人所倚靠的。
他既以大能束腰,就用力量安定諸山,
使諸海的響聲和其中波浪的響聲,並萬民的喧嘩,都平靜了。
住在地極的人因你的神蹟懼怕,你使日出日落之地都歡呼。

述神之恩澤及萬物

你眷顧地,降下透雨,使地大得肥美;神的河滿了水。你這樣澆灌了地,好為人預備五穀。

10 你澆透地的犁溝,潤平犁脊,降甘霖使地軟和,其中發長的蒙你賜福。
11 你以恩典為年歲的冠冕,你的路徑都滴下脂油。
12 滴在曠野的草場上,小山以歡樂束腰,
13 草場以羊群為衣,谷中也長滿了五穀,這一切都歡呼歌唱。

Psalm 65

God’s Care for the Earth

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. A song.

Praise is rightfully Yours,[a]
God, in Zion;
vows to You will be fulfilled.(A)
All humanity will come to You,
the One who hears prayer.(B)
Iniquities overwhelm me;
only You can atone for[b] our rebellions.(C)
How happy is the one You choose
and bring near to live in Your courts!
We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
the holiness of Your temple.[c](D)

You answer us in righteousness,
with awe-inspiring works,
God of our salvation,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the distant seas.(E)
You establish the mountains by Your[d] power,
robed with strength.(F)
You silence the roar of the seas,
the roar of their waves,
and the tumult of the nations.(G)
Those who live far away are awed by Your signs;
You make east and west shout for joy.(H)

You visit the earth and water it abundantly,
enriching it greatly.
God’s stream is filled with water,
for You prepare the earth[e] in this way,
providing people with grain.(I)
10 You soften it with showers and bless its growth,
soaking its furrows and leveling its ridges.(J)
11 You crown the year with Your goodness;
Your ways overflow with plenty.[f](K)
12 The wilderness pastures overflow,
and the hills are robed with joy.(L)
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks
and the valleys covered with grain.(M)
They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.(N)
