Psalms 65
1TO Thee, O God, a hymn in Sion is seemly: and to Thee a vow should be paid.
2Hearken to my prayer. To Thee all flesh should come.
3The acts of transgressors prevailed over us: but Thou canst pardon our sins.
4Happy he, whom Thou hast chosen and taken to Thyself! He shall dwell in Thy courts.
5Let us be satisfied with the good things of Thy house: Thy temple is holy. Thou art wonderful for righteousness: hear us O God, our Saviour. Thou art the hope of all the ends of the earth: and of them at sea far off.
6Thou establishest the mountains by Thy power: Thou art begirt with majesty.
7Thou causest the cavity of the sea to rage; the billows thereof to roar.
8When nations are troubled and the inhabitants on its borders terrified at Thy signs; Thou canst make the outgoings of the morning and evening joyous.
9Thou hast visited the earth and watered it: Thou hast multiplied the means of enriching it. The river of God is full of water: Thou hast provided the supply for it. Because such is Thy provision, O! water its furrows plenteously: multiply its productions.
10By these showers on it, it will be gladdened; and will give a spring to vegetation.
11Bless the crown of the year with Thy goodness: and let the fields be filled with fatness—
12let the mountains of the wilderness be made fertile; and the hills be girt with joy.
13The rams of the flocks have clothed themselves: and the valleys abound with corn. Let them shout and hymn Thy praise.
