Psalm 65 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

God’s Care for the Earth

For the choir director. A psalm of David. A song.

Psa 65:1

Praise is rightfully yours,[fn]

God, in Zion;

vows to you will be fulfilled.

Psa 65:2

All humanity will come to you,

the one who hears prayer.

Psa 65:3

Iniquities overwhelm me;

only you can atone for our rebellions.

Psa 65:4

How happy is the one you choose

and bring near to live in your courts!

We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house,

the holiness of your temple.[fn]

Psa 65:5

You answer us in righteousness,

with awe-inspiring works,

God of our salvation,

the hope of all the ends of the earth

and of the distant seas.

Psa 65:6

You establish the mountains by your power;

you are robed with strength.

Psa 65:7

You silence the roar of the seas,

the roar of their waves,

and the tumult of the nations.

Psa 65:8

Those who live far away are awed by your signs;

you make east and west shout for joy.

Psa 65:9

You visit the earth and water it abundantly,

enriching it greatly.

God’s stream is filled with water,

for you prepare the earth in this way,

providing people with grain.

Psa 65:10

You soften it with showers and bless its growth,

soaking its furrows and leveling its ridges.

Psa 65:11

You crown the year with your goodness;

your carts overflow with plenty.[fn]

Psa 65:12

The wilderness pastures overflow,

and the hills are robed with joy.

Psa 65:13

The pastures are clothed with flocks

and the valleys covered with grain.

They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.

Or Praise is silence to you, or Praise awaits you
Or house, your holy temple
Lit your paths drip with fat
