Psalm 65:1-8

Psalm 65[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.

1 Praise awaits[b] you, our God, in Zion;(A)
    to you our vows will be fulfilled.(B)
2 You who answer prayer,
    to you all people will come.(C)
3 When we were overwhelmed by sins,(D)
    you forgave[c] our transgressions.(E)
4 Blessed are those you choose(F)
    and bring near(G) to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of your house,(H)
    of your holy temple.

5 You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,(I)
    God our Savior,(J)
the hope of all the ends of the earth(K)
    and of the farthest seas,(L)
6 who formed the mountains(M) by your power,
    having armed yourself with strength,(N)
7 who stilled the roaring of the seas,(O)
    the roaring of their waves,
    and the turmoil of the nations.(P)
8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.(Q)

47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.(D) 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them(E) at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me(F) to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life.(G) So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”(H)
