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.

O God of Our Salvation
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song.
1Praise #Ps. 62:1 is due to you,#65:1 Or Praise waits for you in silence O God, in Zion,
and to you shall #See Ps. 50:14vows be performed.
2O you who #2 Kgs. 19:20 hear prayer,
to you #See Ps. 86:9shall all flesh come.
3When #See Ps. 38:4 iniquities prevail against me,
you #Ps. 79:9; Isa. 6:7; See Ps. 51:2atone for our transgressions.
4 # [Ps. 33:12] Blessed is the one you choose and bring near,
to #Ps. 84:4; See Ps. 27:4 dwell in your courts!
We shall be #See Ps. 16:11satisfied with the goodness of your house,
the holiness of your temple!
5By #Ps. 45:4; 106:22; Deut. 10:21; 2 Sam. 7:23; [Rev. 15:3] awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
O God of our salvation,
the hope of all #See Ps. 22:27the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas;
6the one who by his strength established the mountains,
being #Ps. 93:1girded with might;
7who #Ps. 89:9; 93:3, 4; 107:29; Matt. 8:26; [Jer. 5:22] stills the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
#
Ps. 74:23; Isa. 17:12, 13 the tumult of the peoples,
8so 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.
9You visit the earth and #Ps. 68:9; 72:6; Lev. 26:4; See Job 5:10 water it;#65:9 Or and make it overflow
you greatly enrich it;
# [Ps. 46:4] the river of God is full of water;
# [Ps. 147:14] you provide their grain,
for so you have prepared it.
10You water its furrows abundantly,
settling its ridges,
softening it with #Deut. 32:2showers,
and blessing its growth.
11You crown the year with your bounty;
your wagon tracks #Job 36:28overflow with abundance.
12 #
Joel 2:22; [Job 38:26, 27] The pastures of the wilderness overflow,
the hills #Isa. 55:12gird themselves with joy,
13 #
Isa. 30:23 the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
the valleys deck themselves with grain,
they #Ps. 98:8; [Isa. 44:23]shout and sing together for joy.
