Names of God Bible
Psalm 65
For the choir director; a psalm by David; a song.
1 You are praised with silence in Zion, O Elohim,
and vows made to you must be kept.
2 You are the one who hears prayers.
Everyone will come to you.
3 Various sins overwhelm me.
You are the one who forgives our rebellious acts.
4 Blessed is the person you choose
and invite to live with you in your courtyards.
We will be filled with good food from your house,
from your holy temple.
5 You answer us with awe-inspiring acts done in righteousness,
O Elohim, our savior,
the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the most distant sea,
6 the one who set the mountains in place with his strength,
the one who is clothed with power,
7 the one who calms the roar of the seas,
their crashing waves,
and the uproar of the nations.
8 Those who live at the ends of the earth are in awe of your miraculous signs.
The lands of the morning sunrise and evening sunset sing joyfully.
9 You take care of the earth, and you water it.
You make it much richer than it was.
(The river of Elohim is filled with water.)
You provide grain for them.
Indeed, you even prepare the ground.
10 You drench plowed fields with rain
and level their clumps of soil.
You soften them with showers
and bless what grows in them.
11 You crown the year with your goodness,
and richness overflows wherever you are.
12 The pastures in the desert overflow with richness.
The hills are surrounded with joy.
13 The pastures are covered with flocks.
The valleys are carpeted with grain.
All of them shout triumphantly. Indeed, they sing.
Psalm 65
Revised Geneva Translation
65 O God, praise waits for You in Zion; and to You shall the vow be performed.
2 O, You Who hear prayer, to You shall all flesh come!
3 Wicked deeds have prevailed against me. But You will be merciful to our transgressions.
4 Blessed is he whom You choose and cause to come. He shall dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the pleasures of Your House, and of Your Holy Temple.
5 O God of our salvation, You will answer us with fearful signs in Your righteousness. You are the hope of all the ends of the Earth, and of those who are far off in the sea.
6 He establishes the mountains by His power, being clothed with strength.
7 He appeases the noise of the seas, and the noise of the waves thereof, and the tumults of the people.
8 Also, those who dwell in the uttermost parts shall be afraid of Your signs. You shall make the outgoings of the morning and the evening rejoice.
9 You visit the Earth and water it. You make it very rich. The river of God is full of water. You prepare their grain, for so You have appointed it.
10 You water the furrows thereof abundantly. You cause the rain to descend into the valleys thereof. You make it soft with showers and bless the bud thereof.
11 You crown the year with Your goodness; and Your steps drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness; and the hills shall be surrounded with gladness.
13 The pastures are clad with sheep. The valleys, also, shall be covered with grain. They shout for joy and sing. To him who excels: A song or psalm
