For the music director; a psalm of David, a song.
65:1 Praise awaits you, 2 O God, in Zion.
Vows made to you are fulfilled.
65:2 You hear prayers; 3
all people approach you. 4
65:3 Our record of sins overwhelms me, 5
but you forgive 6 our acts of rebellion.
65:4 How blessed 7 is the one whom you choose,
and allow to live in your palace courts. 8
May we be satisfied with the good things of your house –
your holy palace. 9
65:5 You answer our prayers by performing awesome acts of deliverance,
O God, our savior. 10
All the ends of the earth trust in you, 11
as well as those living across the wide seas. 12
65:6 You created the mountains by your power, 13
and demonstrated your strength. 14
65:7 You calm the raging seas 15
and their roaring waves,
as well as the commotion made by the nations. 16
65:8 Even those living in the most remote areas are awestruck by your acts; 17
you cause those living in the east and west to praise you. 18
65:9 You visit the earth and give it rain; 19
you make it rich and fertile 20
with overflowing streams full of water. 21
You provide grain for them, 22
for you prepare the earth to yield its crops. 23
