Psalm 65

Thanksgiving for Earth’s Bounty

To the leader. A Psalm of David. A Song.¹ Praise is due to you,   O God, in Zion;and to you shall vows be performed,²   O you who answer prayer!To you all flesh shall come.³ When deeds of iniquity overwhelm us,   you forgive our transgressions.⁴ Happy are those whom you choose and bring near   to live in your courts.We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house,   your holy temple. ⁵ By awesome deeds you answer us with deliverance,   O God of our salvation;you are the hope of all the ends of the earth   and of the farthest seas.⁶ By your strength you established the mountains;   you are girded with might.⁷ You silence the roaring of the seas,   the roaring of their waves,   the tumult of the peoples.⁸ Those who live at earth’s farthest bounds are awed by your signs;you make the gateways of the morning and the evening shout for joy. ⁹ You visit the earth and water it,   you greatly enrich it;the river of God is full of water;   you provide the people with grain,   for so you have prepared it.¹⁰ You water its furrows abundantly,   settling its ridges,softening it with showers,   and blessing its growth.¹¹ You crown the year with your bounty;   your wagon tracks overflow with richness.¹² The pastures of the wilderness overflow,   the hills gird themselves with joy,¹³ the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,   the valleys deck themselves with grain,   they shout and sing together for joy.
