Psalm 65

Psalm 64 Psalm 66

Psalm 65 New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 65^[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.

¹Praise awaits^[b] you, our God, in Zion;
    to you our vows will be fulfilled.
²You who answer prayer,
    to you all people will come.
³When we were overwhelmed by sins,
    you forgave^[c] our transgressions.
⁴Blessed are those you choose
    and bring near to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of your house,
    of your holy temple.

⁵You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,
    God our Savior,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
    and of the farthest seas,
⁶who formed the mountains by your power,
    having armed yourself with strength,
⁷who stilled the roaring of the seas,
    the roaring of their waves,
    and the turmoil of the nations.
⁸The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.

⁹You care for the land and water it;
    you enrich it abundantly.
The streams of God are filled with water
    to provide the people with grain,
    for so you have ordained it.^[d]
¹⁰You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
    you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
¹¹You crown the year with your bounty,
    and your carts overflow with abundance.
¹²The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;
    the hills are clothed with gladness.
¹³The meadows are covered with flocks
    and the valleys are mantled with grain;
    they shout for joy and sing.
