Psalms 65
65
God’s Care for the Earth
For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. A song.
1Praise is rightfully Yours, # Or Praise is silence to You, or Praise awaits You
God, in Zion;
vows to You will be fulfilled. # Ps 50:14; 116:18
2All humanity will come to You,
the One who hears prayer. # Ps 86:9; Is 2:2-4; 66:23
3Iniquities overwhelm me;
only You can atone for # Or can forgive, or can wipe out our rebellions. # Ps 38:14; 40:12; 79:9
4How happy is the one You choose
and bring near to live in Your courts!
We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
the holiness of Your temple. # Or house, Your holy temple # Ps 27:4; 84:4
5You answer us in righteousness,
with awe-inspiring works,
God of our salvation,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the distant seas. # Dt 10:21; 2Sm 7:23; Ps 46:8
6You establish the mountains by Your # Some LXX mss, Vg; MT reads His power,
robed with strength. # Ps 93:1; Am 4:13
7You silence the roar of the seas,
the roar of their waves,
and the tumult of the nations. # Ps 107:29; Is 17:13; Mt 8:26
8Those who live far away are awed by Your signs;
You make east and west shout for joy. # Ps 2:8; 139:9; Is 24:16
9You visit the earth and water it abundantly,
enriching it greatly.
God’s stream is filled with water,
for You prepare the earth # Lit prepare it in this way,
providing people with grain. # Ps 104:13; 147:8; Is 45:8
10You soften it with showers and bless its growth,
soaking its furrows and leveling its ridges. # Dt 3:22; Ps 72:6; 147:8
11You crown the year with Your goodness;
Your ways overflow with plenty. # Lit ways drip with fat # Ps 104:28; 147:14
12The wilderness pastures overflow,
and the hills are robed with joy. # Jb 38:26-27; Is 55:12; Jl 2:22
13The pastures are clothed with flocks
and the valleys covered with grain. # Ps 72:16; 144:13; Is 30:23
They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing. # Is 44:23
