For the end, a Psalm [and] Song of David.
65:1 Praise becomes thee, O God, in Sion; and to thee shall the vow be
performed.
65:2 Hear my prayer; to thee all flesh shall come.
65:3 The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do thou pardon our
sins.
65:4 Blessed [is he] whom thou hast chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in
thy courts; we shall be filled with the good things of thy house; thy temple
is holy.
65:5 [Thou art] wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us, O God our Saviour;
the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them [that are] on the sea
afar off:
65:6 who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about
with power;
65:7 who troublest the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
65:8 The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends [of the
earth] shall be afraid of the signs; thou wilt cause the outgoings of
morning and evening to rejoice.
65:9 Thou hast visited the earth, and saturated it; thou hast abundantly
enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; thou hast prepared their
food, for thus is the preparation [of it].
65:10 Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up
shall rejoice in its drops.
65:11 Thou wilt bless the crown of the year [because] of thy goodness; and
thy plains shall be filled with fatness.
65:12 The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall
gird themselves with joy.
65:13 The rams of the flock are clothed [with wool], and the valleys shall
abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yea they shall sing hymns. |
To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of
David. 65:1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall
the vow be performed.
65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
65:3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt
purge them away.
65:4 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.
65:5 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:
65:6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with
power:
65:7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the
tumult of the people.
65:8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens:
thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
65:9 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.
65:10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows
thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing
thereof.
65:11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
65:12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills
rejoice on every side.
65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered
over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. |
