Psalm 65
English Standard Version
O God of Our Salvation
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song.
65 Praise (A)is due to you,[a] O God, in Zion,
and to you shall (B)vows be performed.
2 O you who (C)hear prayer,
to you (D)shall all flesh come.
3 When (E)iniquities prevail against me,
you (F)atone for our transgressions.
4 (G)Blessed is the one you choose and bring near,
to (H)dwell in your courts!
We shall be (I)satisfied with the goodness of your house,
the holiness of your temple!
5 By (J)awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
O God of our salvation,
the hope of all (K)the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas;
6 the one who by his strength established the mountains,
being (L)girded with might;
7 who (M)stills the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
(N)the tumult of the peoples,
8 so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs.
You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.
9 You visit the earth and (O)water it;[b]
you greatly enrich it;
(P)the river of God is full of water;
(Q)you provide their grain,
for so you have prepared it.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
settling its ridges,
softening it with (R)showers,
and blessing its growth.
11 You crown the year with your bounty;
your wagon tracks (S)overflow with abundance.
12 (T)The pastures of the wilderness overflow,
the hills (U)gird themselves with joy,
13 (V)the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
the valleys deck themselves with grain,
they (W)shout and sing together for joy.

Tehillim 65
Orthodox Jewish Bible
65 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid. Shir). Tehillah (praise) is due Thee, O Elohim, in Tziyon; And unto Thee shall the neder (vow) be performed.
2 (3) O Thou that hearest tefillah (prayer), unto Thee shall kol basar come.
3 (4) Divrei avonot (instances of iniquity) overwhelm me; as for peysha’einu (our transgressions), Thou hast made kapporah for them.
4 (5) Ashrei is the one whom Thou choosest, and causest to come near unto Thee, that he may dwell in Thy khatzerot; we shall be satisfied with the tov of Thy Beis, even of Thy Heikhal Kodesh.
5 (6) By nora’ot (awesome deeds, awe-inspiring things) of tzedek (justice) wilt Thou answer us, O Elohei Yish’einu (G-d of our salvation); Who art the hope of all the ends of eretz, and of them that are on the farthest seas;
6 (7) Which by His ko’ach established the harim (mountains), being girded with gevurah;
7 (8) Which stilleth the roar of the seas, the roar of their waves, and the tumult of the Amim (peoples, nations).
8 (9) They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at Thy otot (signs); Thou makest the outgoing exits of boker and erev to resound with joy.
9 (10) Thou visitest ha’aretz, and waterest it; Thou greatly enrichest it with the peleg Elohim (fountain of G-d), which is full of mayim; Thou preparest them dagan (grain), for so Thou didst prepare it.
10 (11) Thou waterest the furrows thereof abundantly; Thou settlest the ridges thereof; Thou makest it soft with showers; Thou blessest the tzemach (sprout, branch, see Zech 6:12) thereof.
11 (12) Thou crownest shnat tovatecha (the year with Thy goodness, bounty); and Thy paths drip with plenty.
12 (13) They drip upon the pastures of the midbar; and the hills are enrobed with gladness.
13 (14) The meadows are clothed with tzon; the amakim (valleys) also are covered over with grain; they shout for joy, they also sing.
