OEBcth - Psalms - 65

65:1  It is seemly to praise you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.

65:2  O you who hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.

65:3  Our sins are too mighty for us, our transgressions you only can cover them.

65:4  Happy the person whom you choose to live beside you in your courts. O may we be filled with the joys of your house, of your holy temple.

65:5  In dread deeds you loyally answer us, O God of our salvation, whom all ends of the earth put their trust in, and islands far away.

65:6  By your strength you establish the hills, you are armed with might;

65:7  you still the roaring of seas, and the turmoil of nations,

65:8  so that those who live at earth’s bounds are awed at your signs: the lands of the sunrise and sunset you make to ring with joy.

65:9  You visit and water the earth; you greatly enrich her with the river of God, which is full of water. You prepare the corn thereof,

65:10  watering her furrows, settling her ridges; you make her soft with showers, and bless what grows thereon.

65:11  You crown the year with your goodness, your chariot-tracks drip with fatness.

65:12  The desert pastures are lush, the hills greened with joy.

65:13  The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys are covered with corn; they shout to each other and sing.
