Dios es digno de alabanza

(1) Del maestro de coro. Salmo y cántico de David.

65 (2) Oh Dios de Sión,
¡tú eres digno de alabanza!,
¡tú mereces que te cumplan lo prometido,
(3) pues escuchas la oración!

Todo el mundo viene a ti.
(4) Nuestras maldades nos dominan,
pero tú perdonas nuestros pecados.
(5) Feliz el hombre a quien escoges
y lo llevas a vivir cerca de ti,
en las habitaciones de tu templo.
¡Que seamos colmados con lo mejor de tu casa,
con la santidad de tu templo!

(6) Dios y Salvador nuestro,
tú nos respondes
con maravillosos actos de justicia;
la tierra entera confía en ti,
y también el mar lejano;
(7) tú mantienes firmes las montañas
con tu poder y tu fuerza.
(8) Tú calmas el estruendo de las olas
y el alboroto de los pueblos;
(9) aun los que habitan en lejanas tierras
tiemblan ante tus maravillas;
por ti hay gritos de alegría
del oriente al occidente.
(10) Tú tienes cuidado de la tierra;
le envías lluvia y la haces producir;
tú, con arroyos caudalosos,
haces crecer los trigales.
¡Así preparas el campo!
10 (11) Tú empapas los surcos de la tierra
y nivelas sus terrones;
ablandas la tierra con lluvias abundantes
y bendices sus productos.
11 (12) Tú colmas el año de bendiciones,
tus nubes derraman abundancia;
12 (13) los pastos del desierto están verdes
y los montes se visten de gala;
13 (14) los llanos se cubren de rebaños,
los valles se revisten de trigales;
¡todos cantan y gritan de alegría!

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.

(3) O Thou that hearest tefillah (prayer), unto Thee shall kol basar come.

(4) Divrei avonot (instances of iniquity) overwhelm me; as for peysha’einu (our transgressions), Thou hast made kapporah for them.

(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.

(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;

(7) Which by His ko’ach established the harim (mountains), being girded with gevurah;

(8) Which stilleth the roar of the seas, the roar of their waves, and the tumult of the Amim (peoples, nations).

(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.

(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.

Psalm 65[a]

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

Praise awaits[b] you, our God, in Zion;(A)
    to you our vows will be fulfilled.(B)
You who answer prayer,
    to you all people will come.(C)
When we were overwhelmed by sins,(D)
    you forgave[c] our transgressions.(E)
Blessed are those you choose(F)
    and bring near(G) to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of your house,(H)
    of your holy temple.

You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,(I)
    God our Savior,(J)
the hope of all the ends of the earth(K)
    and of the farthest seas,(L)
who formed the mountains(M) by your power,
    having armed yourself with strength,(N)
who stilled the roaring of the seas,(O)
    the roaring of their waves,
    and the turmoil of the nations.(P)
The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.(Q)

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

A Song of Praise to God

65 In Zion, God, praise silently awaits you,
    and vows will be paid to you.
Since you hear prayer,
    everybody will come to you.
My acts of iniquity—they overwhelm me!
    Our transgressions—you blot them out!

How blessed is the one you choose,
    the one you cause to live in your courts.
We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house,
    yes, even with the holiness of your Temple.

With awesome deeds of justice[b]
    you will answer us, God our Deliverer;
you are[c] the confidence for everyone at the ends of the earth,
    even for those far away overseas.

The One who established the mountains by his strength
    is clothed with omnipotence.
He calmed the roar of seas,
    the roaring of the waves,
        and the turmoil of the peoples.

Those living at the furthest ends of the earth[d] are seized by fear because of your miraculous deeds.
You make the going forth of the morning and the evening shout for joy.
You take care of the earth,
    you water it,
        and you enrich it greatly with the river of God that overflows with water.
You provide grain for them,
    for you have ordained it this way.
10 You fill the furrows of the field with water
    so that their ridges overflow.
You soften them with rain showers;
    their sprouts you have blessed.
11 You crown the year with your goodness;
    your footsteps drop prosperity behind them.

12 The wilderness pastures drip with dew,[e]
    and the hills wrap themselves with joy.
13 The meadows are clothed with flocks of sheep,
    and the valleys are covered with grain.
They shout for joy;
    yes, they burst out in song!
