Psalm 65

Jubilee Bible 2000

To the Overcomer, A Psalm and Song of David.

¹ ¶ Praise doth rest in thee, O God, in Sion and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

² O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

³ Words of iniquity overwhelmed me, but thou shalt purge away our rebellion.

⁴ Blessed is the man whom thou dost choose and cause to approach unto thee that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house even of thy holy temple.

⁵ With tremendous things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our saving health, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth and of those that are afar off upon the sea:

⁶ ¶ Thou art he who doth establish the mountains by thy strength, being girded with valour:

⁷ He who stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves and the tumult of the Gentiles.

⁸ They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy wonders; thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

⁹ Thou dost visit the earth, and when thou hast caused it to want, thou dost greatly enrich it with the river of God, which is full of water; thou dost prepare their grain, according to thy will.

¹⁰ Thou dost water its rows abundantly; thou dost settle its furrows; thou dost make it soft with showers of rain; thou dost bless its sprouting.

¹¹ Thou dost crown the year with thy goodness, and thy clouds distill fatness.

¹² They fall upon the habitations of the wilderness; and the hills gird themselves with happiness.

¹³ The plains clothe themselves with sheep, and the valleys cover themselves with grain; they give shouts of triumph, they even sing.
