Psalms 65

Berean Standard Bible

Chapter summary

Praise and fulfillment of vows await God in Zion, who listens to prayer and atones for human transgressions. God chooses individuals to dwell in the courts of His temple, where they are filled with His goodness. As the God of salvation, He answers with righteous deeds, forms the mountains by power, and stills the roaring seas and the tumult of nations. People living far away fear His wonders, and both the dawn and sunset shout for joy. God attends to the earth by watering it, enriching it with abundant streams, preparing grain, soaking furrows, and softening ridges with showers to bless its growth. He crowns the year with bounty, causing wilderness pastures and hills to overflow with plenty and be clothed with flocks and grain, prompting them to shout in triumph and sing.

¹Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled. ²O You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You. ³When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions. ⁴Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple. ⁵With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas. ⁶You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might. ⁷You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations. ⁸Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy. ⁹You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for the earth. ¹⁰You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth. ¹¹You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty. ¹²The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed with joy. ¹³The pastures are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are decked with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.
