65:1  For the director. A psalm of David. A song.
65:2  It is fitting to offer praise to you, O God, in Zion. To you our vows must be fulfilled,
65:3  for you answer our prayers. To you all flesh must come,
65:4  burdened by its sinful deeds. Too heavy for us are our sins, and only you can blot them out.
65:5  Blessed is the one whom you choose and invite to dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple.
65:6  Through your awesome deeds of righteousness, you respond to us, O God, our Savior; you are the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the far-off islands.
65:7  Clothed in your great power, you hold the mountains in place.
65:8  You quiet the roaring of the seas, the turbulence of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
65:9  Those who dwell at the ends of the earth are awestruck by your wonders. You call forth songs of joy from sunrise and sunset.
65:10  You care for the earth and water it, making it most fertile. The streams of God are filled with water to provide grain for its people. Thus, you prepare the earth for growth:
65:11  you water its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its yield.
65:12  You crown the year with your bounty, and your tracks dispense fertility.
65:13  The pastures of the wilderness overflow, and the hills are covered with rejoicing.
65:14  The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are decked out with grain; in their joy they shout and sing together.
