Psalm 65God's Care for the Earth
|
|
|
|
1. Praise is rightfully yours,
|
|
God, in Zion;
|
|
vows to you will be fulfilled.
|
|
|
|
2. All humanity will come to you,
|
|
the one who hears prayer.
|
|
|
|
3. Iniquities overwhelm me;
|
|
only you can atone for our rebellions.
|
|
|
|
4. 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.
|
|
|
|
5. 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.
|
|
|
|
6. You establish the mountains by your power;
|
|
you are robed with strength.
|
|
|
|
7. You silence the roar of the seas,
|
|
the roar of their waves,
|
|
and the tumult of the nations.
|
|
|
|
8. Those who live far away are awed by your signs;
|
|
you make east and west shout for joy.
|
|
|
|
9. 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.
|
|
|
|
10. You soften it with showers and bless its growth,
|
|
soaking its furrows and leveling its ridges.
|
|
|
|
11. You crown the year with your goodness;
|
|
your carts overflow with plenty.
|
|
|
|
12. The wilderness pastures overflow,
|
|
and the hills are robed with joy.
|
|
|
|
13. The pastures are clothed with flocks
|
|
and the valleys covered with grain.
|
|
They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.
