Psalms 65

1God in Zion, we praise you and give you what we promised.

2Anyone can come to you, God, and God will listen to their prayers.

3Our sins are too many for us to carry, but You forgive our sins and take them away.

4Oh, how wonderful it is to be the people you chose to come and stay in your Temple. And we are so happy to have the wonderful things that are in your Temple, your holy palace.

5God, By awesome and wondrous things You answer us and do what is right. You do amazing things to save us. People all over the world know they can trust in you, even those who live across the sea.

6You are stronger than anything and anyone. You are the One who put the mountains in their place.

7When You speak, the sea and the waves become still, and all the nations become quiet.

8People at the end of the earth fear You when they see the miracles that You do. You make them rejoice from the east to the west.

9You take care of the earth and water it, making it rich and fertile. The river of God has plenty of water; it provides a bountiful harvest of grain, for you have ordered it so.

10You pour rain on the plowed fields; you soak the fields with water. You make the ground soft with rain and you make the young plants grow.

11You start the new year with a good harvest. You end the year with many crops.

12The fields of the wilderness drip with dew, And the hills are encircled with joy.

13The fields are covered with sheep. The valleys are filled with grain. Everything is singing and shouting for joy.
