Psalm 65
New Century Version

A Hymn of Thanksgiving

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

65 God, you will be praised in Jerusalem.
    We will keep our promises to you.
2 You hear our prayers.
    All people will come to you.
3 Our guilt overwhelms us,
    but you forgive our sins.
4 Happy are the people you choose
    and invite to stay in your court.
We are filled with good things in your house,
    your holy Temple.

5 You answer us in amazing ways,
    God our Savior.
People everywhere on the earth
    and beyond the sea trust you.
6 You made the mountains by your strength;
    you are dressed in power.
7 You stopped the roaring seas,
    the roaring waves,
    and the uproar of the nations.
8 Even those people at the ends of the earth fear your miracles.
    You are praised from where the sun rises to where it sets.

9 You take care of the land and water it;
    you make it very fertile.
The rivers of God are full of water.
    Grain grows because you make it grow.
10 You send rain to the plowed fields;
    you fill the rows with water.
You soften the ground with rain,
    and then you bless it with crops.
11 You give the year a good harvest,
    and you load the wagons with many crops.
12 The desert is covered with grass
    and the hills with happiness.
13 The pastures are full of flocks,
    and the valleys are covered with grain.
    Everything shouts and sings for joy.

God’s Abundant Favor to Earth and Mankind.

For the music director. A Psalm of David. A Song.

65 There will be silence [a]before You, and praise in Zion, God,
And the (A)vow will be fulfilled for You.
2 You who hear prayer,
To You (B)all [b]mankind comes.
3 [c](C)Wrongdoings prevail against me;
As for our offenses, You [d](D)forgive them.
4 (E)Blessed is the one You (F)choose and allow to approach You;
He will dwell in Your courtyards.
We will be (G)satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

5 By (H)awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, (I)God of our salvation,
You who are the trust of all the (J)ends of the earth and the farthest [e](K)sea;
6 Who (L)establishes the mountains by His strength,
Who is (M)encircled with might;
7 Who (N)stills the roaring of the seas,
The roaring of their waves,
And the (O)turmoil of the nations.

You make the [f]sunrise and the sunset shout for joy.

9 You visit the earth and (Q)cause it to overflow;
You greatly (R)enrich it;
The [g](S)stream of God is full of water;
You prepare their (T)grain, for so You prepare [h]the earth.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
You [i]settle its ridges,
You soften it (U)with showers,
You bless its growth.
11 You have crowned the year [j]with Your (V)goodness,
And Your [k]paths (W)drip with fatness.
12 (X)The pastures of the wilderness drip,
And the (Y)hills encircle themselves with rejoicing.
13 The meadows are (Z)clothed with flocks
And the valleys are (AA)covered with grain;
They (AB)shout for joy, yes, they sing.

Amplified Bible

God’s Abundant Favor to Earth and Man.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.

65 To You belongs silence [the submissive wonder of reverence], and [it bursts into] praise in Zion, O God;
And to You the vow shall be performed.
2 
O You who hear prayer,
To You all mankind comes.
3 
Wickedness and guilt prevail against me;
Yet as for our transgressions,
You forgive them [removing them from Your sight].
4 
Blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near
To dwell in Your courts.
We will be filled with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

5 
By awesome and wondrous things You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation,
You who are the trust and hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;
6 
Who creates the mountains by His strength,
Being clothed with power,
7 
Who stills the roaring of the seas,
The roaring of their waves,
And the tumult of the peoples,
8 
So they who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs [the evidence of Your presence].(A)
You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.

9 
You visit the earth and make it overflow [with water];
You greatly enrich it;
The stream of God is full of water;
You provide their grain, when You have prepared the earth.
10 
You water its furrows abundantly,
You smooth its ridges;
You soften it with showers,
You bless its growth.
11 
You crown the year with Your bounty,
And Your paths overflow.
12 
The pastures of the wilderness drip [with dew],
And the hills are encircled with joy.
13 
The meadows are clothed with flocks
And the valleys are covered with grain;
They shout for joy and they sing.
