Psalm 65
Good News Translation
Praise and Thanksgiving[a]
65 O God, it is right for us to praise you in Zion
and keep our promises to you,
2 because you answer prayers.
People everywhere will come to you
3 on account of their sins.
Our faults defeat us,[b]
but you forgive them.
4 Happy are those whom you choose,
whom you bring to live in your sanctuary.
We shall be satisfied with the good things of your house,
the blessings of your sacred Temple.
5 You answer us by giving us victory,
and you do wonderful things to save us.
People all over the world
and across the distant seas trust in you.
6 You set the mountains in place by your strength,
showing your mighty power.
7 You calm the roar of the seas
and the noise of the waves;
you calm the uproar of the peoples.
8 The whole world stands in awe
of the great things that you have done.
Your deeds bring shouts of joy
from one end of the earth to the other.
9 You show your care for the land by sending rain;
you make it rich and fertile.
You fill the streams with water;
you provide the earth with crops.
This is how you do it:
10 you send abundant rain on the plowed fields
and soak them with water;
you soften the soil with showers
and cause the young plants to grow.
11 What a rich harvest your goodness provides!
Wherever you go there is plenty.
12 The pastures are filled with flocks;
the hillsides are full of joy.
13 The fields are covered with sheep;
the valleys are full of wheat.
Everything shouts and sings for joy.

Arabic Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
لِقَائِدِ المُرَنِّمِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ. تَرْنِيمَةٌ.
65 عَلَى جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ تَنَالُ مَا تَسْتَحِقُّ مِنْ تَسْبِيحٍ
وَتُوفَى لَكَ النُّذُورُ.
2 هُنَاكَ سَيَأْتِي أمَامَكَ كُلُّ إنْسَانٍ،
يَا مَنْ تَسْمَعُ الصَّلَوَاتِ!
3 إثمُنَا يَغْمُرُنَا،
لَكِنَّكَ أنْتَ تُغَطِّي خَطَايَانَا وَتَغْفِرُهَا.
4 هَنيئًا لِمَنْ تَختَارُهُ لِلِاقتِرَابِ إلَيْكَ
وَالسُّكنَى فِي سَاحَاتِ بَيْتِكَ،
لِأنَّهُ سَيَشْبَعُ مِنْ أطَايِبِ هَيْكَلِكَ المُقَدَّسِ.
5 أنَتَ تُخَلِّصُنَا يَا إلَهَنَا، تَسْتَجِيبُ لَنَا،
وَبِقُوَّةٍ مُهِيبَةٍ تَنْصُرُنَا.
عَلَيْكَ يَعْتَمِدُ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ
فِي الأرَاضِي البَعِيدَةِ وَفِي البِحَارِ النَّائِيَةِ.
6 يَلبَسُ اللهُ القُدرَةَ.
يُثَبِّتُ الجِبَالَ بِقُوَّتِهِ.
7 يُهَدِّئُ البِحَارَ الهَائِجَةَ،
وَالأموَاجَ المُضطَرِبَةَ،
وَالشُّعُوبَ الثَّائِرَةَ.
8 آيَاتُكَ تُوقِعُ الهَيبَةَ فِي النَّاسِ فِي البِلَادِ البَعِيدَةِ.
وَأنْتَ تُدهِشُ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي أقَاصِي الشَّرقِ وَالغَربِ.
9 تَعْتَنِي بِالأرْضِ وَتَسْقِيهَا.
تَجْعَلُهَا خَصْبَةً وَمُثْمِرَةً.
أنْهَارُ اللهِ مَلآنَةٌ مَاءً،
تُهَيِّئُ الأرْضَ وَتَزِيدُ قَمْحَهَا وَغِلَالَهَا.
10 أنْتَ تُرَطِّبُ حُقُولَهَا.
الأمطَارُ الخَفِيفَةُ تُمَهِّدُ تُربَتَهَا وَتُنَعِّمُهَا.
وَأنْتَ تُبَارِكُ نَبَاتَاتِهَا وَغَلَّاتِهَا.
11 تُكَلِّلُ السَّنَةَ بِخَيرِكَ الوَفِيرِ،
وَتَملأُ عَرَبَاتِكَ بِغَلَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ.
12 تَفِيضُ المَرَاعِي دَسَمًا كَثِيرًا.
وَالتِّلَالُ المُحِيطَةُ تُعطِي ثَمَرَهَا كَامِلًا.
13 تَكْتَسِي المُرُوجُ بِقُطعَانِ الغَنَمِ.
وَبِالحُبُوبِ تَتَغَطَّى الوِديَانُ.
تَهْتِفُ وَتُغَنِّي.
Psalm 65

To the director: A praise song of David.
65 God in Zion, we praise you
and give you what we promised.
2 Anyone can come to you,
and you will listen to their prayers.
3 When our sins become too heavy for us,
you wipe them away.
4 Oh, how wonderful it is to be the people you chose
to come and stay in your Temple.
And we are so happy to have the wonderful things
that are in your Temple, your holy palace.
5 God, you answer our prayers and do what is right.
You do amazing things to save us.
People all over the world know they can trust in you,
even those who live across the sea.
6 You made the mountains.
We see your power all around us.
7 You can calm the roughest seas
or the nations raging around us.
8 People all around the world are amazed at the wonderful things you do.
You make all people, east and west, sing with joy.
9 You take care of the land.
You water it and make it fertile.
Your streams are always filled with water.
That’s how you make the crops grow.
10 You pour rain on the plowed fields;
you soak the fields with water.
You make the ground soft with rain,
and you make the young plants grow.
11 You start the new year with a good harvest.
You end the year with many crops.[a]
12 The desert and hills are covered with grass.
13 The pastures are covered with sheep.
The valleys are filled with grain.
Everything is singing and shouting for joy.
