65 (0) For the leader. A psalm of David. A song:

(1) To you, God, in Tziyon, silence is praise;
and vows to you are to be fulfilled.
(2) You who listen to prayer,
to you all living creatures come.
(3) When deeds of wickedness overwhelm me,
you will atone for our crimes.

(4) How blessed are those you choose and bring near,
so that they can remain in your courtyards!
We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house,
the Holy Place of your temple.
(5) It is just that you answer us with awesome deeds,
God of our salvation,
you in whom all put their trust,
to the ends of the earth and on distant seas.
(6) By your strength you set up the mountains.
You are clothed with power.
(7) You still the roaring of the seas,
their crashing waves, and the peoples’ turmoil.
(8) This is why those living at the ends of the earth
stand in awe of your signs.
The places where the sun rises and sets
you cause to sing for joy.

10 (9) You care for the earth and water it,
you enrich it greatly;
with the river of God, full of water,
you provide them grain and prepare the ground.
11 (10) Soaking its furrows and settling its soil,
you soften it with showers and bless its growth.
12 (11) You crown the year with your goodness,
your tracks overflow with richness.
13 (12) The desert pastures drip water,
the hills are wrapped with joy,
14 (13) the meadows are clothed with flocks
and the valleys blanketed with grain,
so they shout for joy and break into song.

Praise is Awaitng You in Zion

Psalm 65

For the music director, a psalm, a song of David.
Praise is awaiting You in Zion, O God,
and to You the vow will be fulfilled.
O You who hear prayer,
to You all flesh will come.
Records of sins overwhelm me—
You will atone for our transgressions.
Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts!
We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your House—Your holy Temple.
You respond to us in righteousness with awe-inspiring works
—O God of our salvation—
hope of all ends of the earth and farthest seas,
who establishes mountains by His power,
being girded with might,
who stills the roaring of the seas,
    the roaring of their waves,
and the tumult of the peoples.
Those dwelling in the uttermost parts stand in awe of Your signs.
You make morning and evening shout for joy.
10 You visit the land and make it abundant,
greatly enriching it—
the stream of God is full of water.
You prepare their grain,
for so You have prepared the earth.
11 You drench her furrows,
    leveling the ridges.
You soften her with showers,
    blessing her growth.
12 You crown the year with Your goodness.
Your wagon tracks drip with abundance.
13 Pastures of the wilderness overflow
and hills are robed with joy.
14 Meadows are clothed with flocks
and valleys are covered with grain—
they shout for joy, yes, they sing!
