Psalm 65 - Modern English Version

For the Music Director. A Psalm of David. A Song.

¹ Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion, and to You shall vows be performed.

² O You who hear prayer, to You shall all flesh come.

³ Iniquities prevail against me; as for our transgressions, You will provide atonement for them.

⁴ Blessed is the man You choose and allow to approach You, that he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.

⁵ By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of the farthest seas;

⁶ who established the mountains by His strength, who is girded with might.

⁷ You still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.

⁸ They also who dwell in the faraway places are in awe at Your signs; You make the going out of the morning and the evening shout for joy.

⁹ You visit the earth and water it; You greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, for so You have prepared it.

¹⁰ You water its furrows abundantly; You settle its ridges; You make it soft with showers; You bless its growth.

¹¹ You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with fatness.

¹² They drip on the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills gird themselves with rejoicing.

¹³ The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered with grain; they shout for joy, yes, they also sing.
