The Book of Psalms

Psalm 65

  

Thanksgiving for the Bounty of the Earth

To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.

1Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion:
and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

2 O thou that hearest prayer,
unto thee shall all flesh come. 3 Iniquities prevail against me:
as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. 4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest,
and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house,
even of thy holy temple.   5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us,
O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
and of them that are afar off upon the sea: 6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;
being girded with power: 7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas,
the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. 8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens:
thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.   9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it:
thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water:
thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. 10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly:
thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers:
thou blessest the springing thereof. 11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;
and thy paths drop fatness. 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness:
and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks;
the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
