Psalms 65

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.	1 For the leader. A psalm of David. A song.
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.	2 To you we owe our hymn of praise, O God on Zion; To you our vows must be fulfilled,
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.	3 you who hear our prayers. To you all flesh must come
4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest 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.	4 with its burden of wicked deeds. We are overcome by our sins; only you can pardon them.
5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:	5 Happy the chosen ones you bring to dwell in your courts. May we be filled with the good things of your house, the blessings of your holy temple!
6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:	6 You answer us with awesome deeds of justice, O God our savior, The hope of all the ends of the earth and of far distant islands.
7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.	7 You are robed in power, you set up the mountains by your might.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.	8 You still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples.
9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.	9 Distant peoples stand in awe of your marvels; east and west you make resound with joy.
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.	10 You visit the earth and water it, make it abundantly fertile. God's stream is filled with water; with it you supply the world with grain. Thus do you prepare the earth:
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.	11 you drench plowed furrows, and level their ridges. With showers you keep the ground soft, blessing its young sprouts.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.	12 You adorn the year with your bounty; your paths drip with fruitful rain.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.	13 The untilled meadows also drip; the hills are robed with joy.
	14 The pastures are clothed with flocks, the valleys blanketed with grain; they cheer and sing for joy.
