65 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

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.

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:

Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:

Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

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.

65 För sångmästaren; en psalm; en sång av David.

Gud, dig lovar man i stillhet i Sion, och till dig får man infria löfte.

Du som hör bön, till dig kommer allt kött.

Mina missgärningar voro mig övermäktiga; men du förlåter våra överträdelser.

Säll är den som du utväljer och låter komma till dig, så att han får bo i dina gårdar. Må vi få mätta oss med det goda i ditt hus, det heliga i ditt tempel.

Med underbara gärningar bönhör du oss i rättfärdighet, du vår frälsnings Gud, du som är en tillflykt för alla jordens ändar och för havet i fjärran;

du som gör bergen fasta genom din kraft, ty du är omgjordad med makt;

du som stillar havens brus, deras böljors brus och folkens larm.

De som bo vid jordens ändar häpna för dina tecken; österland och västerland uppfyller du med jubel.

10 Du låter dig vårda om landet och giver det överflöd, rikedom i ymnigt mått; Guds källa har vatten till fyllest. Du bereder säd åt människorna, när du så bereder jorden.

11 Dess fåror vattnar du, du jämnar det som är upplöjt; med regnskurar uppmjukar du den, det som växer därpå välsignar du.

12 Du kröner året med ditt goda, och dina spår drypa av fetma.

13 Betesmarkerna i öknen drypa, och höjderna omgjorda sig med fröjd.

14 Ängarna hölja sig i hjordar, och dalarna betäckas med säd; man höjer jubelrop och sjunger.

Psalm 65[a]

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

Praise awaits[b] you, our God, in Zion;(A)
    to you our vows will be fulfilled.(B)
You who answer prayer,
    to you all people will come.(C)
When we were overwhelmed by sins,(D)
    you forgave[c] our transgressions.(E)
Blessed are those you choose(F)
    and bring near(G) to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of your house,(H)
    of your holy temple.

You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,(I)
    God our Savior,(J)
the hope of all the ends of the earth(K)
    and of the farthest seas,(L)
who formed the mountains(M) by your power,
    having armed yourself with strength,(N)
who stilled the roaring of the seas,(O)
    the roaring of their waves,
    and the turmoil of the nations.(P)
The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.(Q)

You care for the land and water it;(R)
    you enrich it abundantly.(S)
The streams of God are filled with water
    to provide the people with grain,(T)
    for so you have ordained it.[d]
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
    you soften it with showers(U) and bless its crops.
11 You crown the year with your bounty,(V)
    and your carts overflow with abundance.(W)
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;(X)
    the hills are clothed with gladness.(Y)
13 The meadows are covered with flocks(Z)
    and the valleys are mantled with grain;(AA)
    they shout for joy and sing.(AB)
