65:1
[For the choirmaster Psalm Of David Song] Praise is rightfully yours, God, in Zion. Vows to you shall be fulfilled,
65:2
for you answer prayer. All humanity must come to you
65:3
with its sinful deeds. Our faults overwhelm us, but you blot them out.
65:4
How blessed those whom you choose and invite to dwell in your courts. We shall be filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple.
65:5
You respond to us with the marvels of your saving justice, God our Saviour, hope of the whole wide world, even the distant islands.
65:6
By your strength you hold the mountains steady, being clothed in power,
65:7
you calm the turmoil of the seas, the turmoil of their waves. The nations are in uproar, in panic those who live at the ends of the earth;
65:8
your miracles bring shouts of joy to the gateways of morning and evening.
65:9
You visit the earth and make it fruitful, you fill it with riches; the river of God brims over with water, you provide the grain. To that end
65:10
you water its furrows abundantly, level its ridges, soften it with showers and bless its shoots.
65:11
You crown the year with your generosity, richness seeps from your tracks,
65:12
the pastures of the desert grow moist, the hillsides are wrapped in joy,
65:13
the meadows are covered with flocks, the valleys clothed with wheat; they shout and sing for joy.
