Psalm 65
Thanksgiving for Earth’s Bounty
To the leader. A Psalm of David. A Song.
1 Praise is due to you,
O God, in Zion,
and to you shall vows be performed,(A)
2 O you who answer prayer!
To you all flesh shall come.(B)
3 When deeds of iniquity overwhelm us,
you forgive our transgressions.(C)
4 Happy are those whom you choose and bring near
to live in your courts.
We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house,
your holy temple.(D)
5 By awesome deeds you answer us with deliverance,
O God of our salvation;
you are the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas.(E)
6 By your[a] strength you established the mountains;
you are girded with might.(F)
7 You silence the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
the tumult of the peoples.(G)
8 Those who live at earth’s farthest bounds are awed by your signs;
you make the gateways of the morning and the evening shout for joy.
9 You visit the earth and water it;
you greatly enrich it;
the river of God is full of water;
you provide the people with grain,
for so you have prepared it.(H)
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
settling its ridges,
softening it with showers,
and blessing its growth.
11 You crown the year with your bounty;
your wagon tracks overflow with richness.
12 The pastures of the wilderness overflow;
the hills gird themselves with joy;(I)
13 the meadows clothe themselves with flocks;
the valleys deck themselves with grain;
they shout and sing together for joy.(J)

Tu nous donnes l’abondance
65 Au chef de chœur. Un psaume de David. Cantique.
2 Compter sur toi, ╵dans la quiétude : ╵c’est la louange[a] ╵que nous t’offrons, ╵Dieu, en Sion.
Et les vœux que nous t’avons faits, ╵nous les accomplirons.
3 Toi qui écoutes les prières,
tout le monde viendra vers toi.
4 Le poids des fautes ╵pèse sur moi : ╵il est trop lourd,
mais tu pardonnes ╵tous nos péchés.
5 Heureux celui ╵que tu choisis ╵pour l’inviter ╵auprès de toi
à demeurer ╵dans tes parvis !
Nous y serons comblés ╵des bienfaits de ton temple,
et de la sainteté ╵de ton palais.
6 Dans ta justice, ╵tu nous réponds
par des interventions terribles, ╵ô Dieu sauveur,
toi en qui mettent leur espoir ╵les hommes jusqu’aux confins de la terre, ╵jusqu’au-delà des mers.
7 Par son pouvoir, ╵il établit fermement les montagnes.
Il est revêtu de puissance,
8 il calme le fracas des mers, ╵tout le mugissement de leurs vagues,
et les peuples tumultueux.
9 Ceux qui habitent ╵au bout du monde ╵sont saisis d’une grande crainte ╵en voyant tes prodiges.
Tu fais crier de joie ╵le levant, le couchant.
10 Tu prends soin de la terre ╵et tu l’abreuves.
Tu la combles d’abondantes richesses !
Dieu, ton ruisseau ╵est rempli d’eau :
fertilisant ainsi la terre, ╵tu fais pousser le blé ╵pour les humains.
11 Tu fais regorger d’eau ╵tous ses sillons. ╵Tu aplanis ses mottes,
tu l’amollis par les averses, ╵et tu bénis ce qui y germe.
12 Tu couronnes l’année ╵de tes bienfaits ;
et partout où tu passes, ╵la terre est engraissée.
13 Les pâturages des steppes ruissellent,
et les coteaux ╵se revêtent de joie.
14 Les prés se couvrent ╵de moutons et de chèvres,
les vallées se drapent de blé :
tout chante et pousse des clameurs de joie.

King James Version
Psalm 65
King James Version
65 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
