Psalm 65
Praise for God's
Bounty in Nature |
To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David. |
|
1 |
Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in
Zion:
|
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;
|
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. |
