Psalms 65
Song
1 Praise is rightfully yours, God, in Zion. Vows to you must be fulfilled,
2 for you answer prayer. All flesh must come to you
3 with all its sins; though our faults overpower us, you blot them out.
4 Happy the man you choose, whom you invite to live in your courts. Fill us with the good things of your house, of your holy Temple.
5 Your righteousness repays us with marvels, God our saviour, hope of all the ends of the earth and the distant islands.
6 Your strength holds the mountains up, such is the power that wraps you;
7 you calm the clamour of the ocean, the clamour of its waves. The nations are in uproar,
8 in panic those who live at the ends of the world, as your miracles bring shouts of joy to the portals of morning and evening.
9 You visit the earth and water it, you load it with riches; God’s rivers brim with water to provide their grain.
10 This is how you provide it: by drenching its furrows, by levelling its ridges, by softening it with showers, by blessing the first-fruits.
11 You crown the year with your bounty, abundance flows wherever you pass;
12 the desert pastures overflow, the hillsides are wrapped in joy,
13 the meadows are dressed in flocks, the valleys are clothed in wheat, what shouts of joy, what singing!
