Psalm 65

For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song. 1 Praise awaits[b] you, our God, in Zion;     to you our vows will be fulfilled. 2 You who answer prayer,     to you all people will come. 3 When we were overwhelmed by sins,     you forgave[c] our transgressions. 4 Blessed are those you choose     and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house,     of your holy temple. 5 You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,     God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth     and of the farthest seas, 6 who formed the mountains by your power,     having armed yourself with strength, 7 who stilled the roaring of the seas,     the roaring of their waves,     and the turmoil of the nations. 8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;     where morning dawns, where evening fades,     you call forth songs of joy. 9 You care for the land and water it;     you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water     to provide the people with grain,     for so you have ordained it.[d] 10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;     you soften it with showers and bless its crops. 11 You crown the year with your bounty,     and your carts overflow with abundance. 12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;     the hills are clothed with gladness. 13 The meadows are covered with flocks     and the valleys are mantled with grain;     they shout for joy and sing.
