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.

1There will be silence #65:1 Lit tobefore You, and praise in Zion, God,
And the vow will be fulfilled for You.
2You who hear prayer,
To You all #65:2 Lit flesh comesmankind comes.
3 # 65:3 Or Confessions of wrongdoings Wrongdoings prevail against me;
As for our offenses, You #65:3 Lit cover, atone forforgive them.

He will dwell in Your courtyards.
We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.
5¶By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, God of our salvation,
You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and the farthest #65:5 Or seassea;
6Who establishes the mountains by His strength,
Who is encircled with might;
7Who stills the roaring of the seas,
The roaring of their waves,
And the turmoil of the nations.
8They who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs;
You make the #65:8 Lit outgoings of the morning and eveningsunrise and the sunset shout for joy.
9¶You visit the earth and cause it to overflow;
You greatly enrich it;
The #65:9 Or channelstream of God is full of water;
You prepare their grain, for so You prepare #65:9 Lit itthe earth.
10You water its furrows abundantly,
You #65:10 Or smoothsettle its ridges,
You soften it with showers,
You bless its growth.
11You have crowned the year #65:11 Lit ofwith Your goodness,
And Your #65:11 I.e., wagon trackspaths drip with fatness.
12The pastures of the wilderness drip,
And the hills encircle themselves with rejoicing.
13The meadows are clothed with flocks
And the valleys are covered with grain;
They shout for joy, yes, they sing.
