[1] To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. A Song. [2] \65:1\It is
right for you, O God, to have praise in Zion: to you let the offering be
made. [3] \65:2\To you, O hearer of prayer, let the words of all flesh
come. [4] \65:3\Evils have overcome us: but as for our sins, you will take
them away. [5] \65:4\Happy is the man of your selection, to whom you give a
resting-place in your house; we will be full of the good things out of your
holy place. [6] \65:5\You will give us an answer in righteousness by great
acts of power, O God of our salvation; you who are the hope of all the ends
of the earth, and of the far-off lands of the sea; [7] \65:6\The God by
whose strength the mountains are fixed; who is robed with power: [8]
\65:7\Who makes the loud voice of the sea quiet, and puts an end to the
sound of its waves. [9] \65:8\Those in the farthest parts of the earth have
fear when they see your signs: the outgoings of the morning and evening are
glad because of you. [10] \65:9\You have given your blessing to the earth,
watering it and making it fertile; the river of God is full of water: and
having made it ready, you give men grain. [11] \65:10\You make the ploughed
lands full of water; you make smooth the slopes: you make the earth soft
with showers, sending your blessing on its growth. [12] \65:11\The year is
crowned with the good you give; life-giving rain is dropping from your
footsteps, [13] \65:12\Falling on the grass of the waste land: and the
little hills are glad on every side. [14] \65:13\The grass-land is thick
with flocks; the valleys are full of grain; they give glad cries and songs
of joy.
