Psalm 65
The Message
65 1-2 Silence is praise to you,
Zion-dwelling God,
And also obedience.
You hear the prayer in it all.
2-8 We all arrive at your doorstep sooner
or later, loaded with guilt,
Our sins too much for us—
but you get rid of them once and for all.
Blessed are the chosen! Blessed the guest
at home in your place!
We expect our fill of good things
in your house, your heavenly manse.
All your salvation wonders
are on display in your trophy room.
Earth-Tamer, Ocean-Pourer,
Mountain-Maker, Hill-Dresser,
Muzzler of sea storm and wave crash,
of mobs in noisy riot—
Far and wide they’ll come to a stop,
they’ll stare in awe, in wonder.
Dawn and dusk take turns
calling, “Come and worship.”
9-13 Oh, visit the earth,
ask her to join the dance!
Deck her out in spring showers,
fill the God-River with living water.
Paint the wheat fields golden.
Creation was made for this!
Drench the plowed fields,
soak the dirt clods
With rainfall as harrow and rake
bring her to blossom and fruit.
Snow-crown the peaks with splendor,
scatter rose petals down your paths,
All through the wild meadows, rose petals.
Set the hills to dancing,
Dress the canyon walls with live sheep,
a drape of flax across the valleys.
Let them shout, and shout, and shout!
Oh, oh, let them sing!
Psalm 65
New International Version
Psalm 65[a]
For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.
1 Praise awaits[b] you, our God, in Zion;(A)
to you our vows will be fulfilled.(B)
2 You who answer prayer,
to you all people will come.(C)
3 When we were overwhelmed by sins,(D)
you forgave[c] our transgressions.(E)
4 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.
5 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)
6 who formed the mountains(M) by your power,
having armed yourself with strength,(N)
7 who stilled the roaring of the seas,(O)
the roaring of their waves,
and the turmoil of the nations.(P)
8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
where morning dawns, where evening fades,
you call forth songs of joy.(Q)
9 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)

诗篇 65
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
頌讚 神的恩慈
歌一首,大衛的詩,交給詩班長。
65 神啊!在錫安城裡,
人們都在等候要頌讚你,
他們也要向你償還所許的願。
2 聽禱告的主啊!
所有的人都要到你面前來。
3 罪孽勝過了我,
但我們的過犯,你都必赦免。
4 你所揀選,使他親近你,
可以住在你院子中的人,是有福的!
願我們因你的居所,就是你聖殿的美福心滿意足。
5 拯救我們的 神啊!
你必充滿威嚴,按公義應允我們;
你本是一切地極和海洋遠處的人所倚靠的。
6 你以大能束腰,
用自己的力量堅立眾山。
7 你平息了海洋的洪濤和澎湃的巨浪,
以及萬民的喧嘩。
8 因此,住在地極的人都因你的神蹟起了敬畏的心;
你使日出和日落之地的人都歡呼歌唱。
9 你眷顧大地,普降甘霖,
使地甚為肥沃;
神的河滿了水,
好為人預備五穀;
你就這樣預備了大地。
10 你灌溉地的犁溝,潤平犁脊,
又降雨露使地鬆軟,
並且賜福給地上所生長的。
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;
群山以歡樂束腰,
13 牧場以羊群為衣,
山谷都蓋滿了五穀;
這一切都歡呼歌唱。
