PSALM 65
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise waits for thee in Sion, Lord:
to thee vows paid shall be.
2O thou that hearer art of pray'r,
all flesh shall come to thee.
3Iniquities, I must confess,
prevail against me do:
But as for our transgressions,
them purge away shalt thou.
4Bless'd is the man whom thou dost chuse,
and mak'st approach to thee,
That he within thy courts, O Lord,
may still a dweller be:
We surely shall be satisfy'd
with thy abundant grace,
And with the goodness of thy house,
ev'n of thy holy place.
5O God of our salvation,
thou, in thy righteousness,
By fearful works unto our pray'rs
thine answer dost express:
Therefore the ends of all the earth,
and those afar that be
Upon the sea, their confidence,
O Lord, will place in thee.
6Who, being girt with pow'r, sets fast
by his great strength the hills.
7Who noise of seas, noise of their waves,
and people's tumult, stills.
8Those in the utmost parts that dwell
are at thy signs afraid:
Th' outgoings of the morn and ev'n
by thee are joyful made.
9The earth thou visit'st, wat'ring it;
thou mak'st it rich to grow
With God's full flood; thou corn prepar'st,
when thou provid'st it so.
10Her rigs thou wat'rest plenteously,
her furrows settelest:
With show'rs thou dost her mollify,
her spring by thee is blest.
11So thou the year most lib'rally
dost with thy goodness crown;
And all thy paths abundantly
on us drop fatness down.
12They drop upon the pastures wide,
that do in deserts lie;
The little hills on ev'ry side
rejoice right pleasantly.
13With flocks the pastures clothed be,
the vales with corn are clad;
And now they shout and sing to thee,
for thou hast made them glad.

Psalms 65
65
Praise Awaits God in Zion
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song.
1Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion;
to You our vows will be fulfilled.
2O You who listen to prayer,
all people will come to You.
3When iniquities prevail against me,
You atone for our transgressions.
4Blessed is the one You choose
and bring near to dwell in Your courts!
We are filled with the goodness of Your house,
the holiness of Your temple.
5With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us,
O God of our salvation,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas.
6You formed the mountains by Your power,
having girded Yourself with might.
7You stilled the roaring of the seas,
the pounding of their waves,
and the tumult of the nations.
8Those who live far away fear Your wonders;
You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.#65:8 Or where morning dawns and evening fades You call forth songs of joy.
9You attend to the earth and water it;#65:9 Or and make it overflow
with abundance You enrich it.
The streams of God are full of water,
for You prepare our grain
by providing for the earth.#65:9 Or to provide the people with grain, for so You have ordained it
10You soak its furrows and level its ridges;
You soften it with showers and bless its growth.
11You crown the year with Your bounty,
and Your paths overflow with plenty.
12The pastures of the wilderness overflow;
the hills are robed with joy.
13The pastures are clothed with flocks,
and the valleys are decked with grain.
They shout in triumph;
indeed, they sing.
