Psalms 65
65
What a Savior
For the Pure and Shining One
King David’s poetic song
1-2O God in Zion, to you even silence is praise!
You who answers prayer, # 65:1–2 The root of the Hebrew word for “prayer” is palal, which also means “tent peg.” Jewish tradition views palal prayer (intercession) as a means of attaching yourself to God. In the same way a tent peg establishes a tent and fastens it securely, so palal prayer fastens the soul to God. Palal prayer is when you grab hold of God and attach yourself to him in surrender and humility. Hold on to God like a tent peg holds on to a tent.
all of humanity comes before you with their requests.
3Though we are overcome by our many sins,
your sacrifice covers over them all.
4How blessed is the one you choose
to live near you in your courts.
The beauty of your house, your holy temple, satisfies us.
5You answer our prayers with amazing wonders
and with awe-inspiring displays of power.
You are the righteous God who helps us like a father.
Everyone everywhere looks to you,
for you are the confidence of all the earth,
even to the farthest islands of the sea.
6What jaw-dropping, astounding power is yours!
You are the mountain maker who sets them all in place.
7You muzzle the roar of the mighty seas
and the rage of mobs with their noisy riots.
8O God, to the farthest corners of the planet
people will stand in awe,
startled and stunned by your signs and wonders.
Sunrise brilliance and sunset beauty
both take turns singing their songs of joy to you.
9Your visitations of glory bless the earth; # 65:9 The Septuagint reads “You’ve made the earth drunk with your visitations.”
the rivers of God overflow and enrich it.
You paint the wheat fields golden as you provide rich harvests.
10Every field is watered with the abundance of rain—
showers soaking the earth and softening its clods,
causing seeds to sprout throughout the land.
11You crown the earth with the fruits of your goodness.
Wherever you go, the tracks of your chariot wheels drip with oil.
12Luxuriant green pastures boast of your bounty
as you make every hillside blossom with joy.
13The grazing meadows are covered with flocks,
and the fertile valleys are clothed with grain,
each one dancing and shouting for joy, creation’s celebration!
They’re all singing their songs of praise to you!

PSALM 65
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song.
1Praise waiteth for thee in silence, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed. 2O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. 3Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them. 4Blessed is he whom thou choosest and causest to approach: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, of thy holy temple. 5By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of the sea. ...
6Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power; 7Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples. 8And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens; thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. 9Thou hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God#GodHebrew: Elohim is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it: 10Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof. 11Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness: 12They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with gladness. 13The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
