Psalm 65 - Heartlight

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.
