The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.(A)

You care for the land and water it;(B)
    you enrich it abundantly.(C)
The streams of God are filled with water
    to provide the people with grain,(D)
    for so you have ordained it.[a]
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
    you soften it with showers(E) and bless its crops.
11 You crown the year with your bounty,(F)
    and your carts overflow with abundance.(G)
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;(H)
    the hills are clothed with gladness.(I)
13 The meadows are covered with flocks(J)
    and the valleys are mantled with grain;(K)
    they shout for joy and sing.(L)

  1. Psalm 65:9 Or for that is how you prepare the land

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

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.
