1.3 KiB
Psalm 65God's Care for the Earth
-
Praise is rightfully yours, God, in Zion; vows to you will be fulfilled.
-
All humanity will come to you, the one who hears prayer.
-
Iniquities overwhelm me; only you can atone for our rebellions.
-
How happy is the one you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple.
-
You answer us in righteousness, with awe-inspiring works, God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the distant seas.
-
You establish the mountains by your power; you are robed with strength.
-
You silence the roar of the seas, the roar of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.
-
Those who live far away are awed by your signs; you make east and west shout for joy.
-
You visit the earth and water it abundantly, enriching it greatly. God's stream is filled with water, for you prepare the earth in this way, providing people with grain.
-
You soften it with showers and bless its growth, soaking its furrows and leveling its ridges.
-
You crown the year with your goodness; your carts overflow with plenty.
-
The wilderness pastures overflow, and the hills are robed with joy.
-
The pastures are clothed with flocks and the valleys covered with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.
