Psalm 65

 ¹ God, you will be praised in Jerusalem.
       We will keep our promises to you.
 ² You hear our prayers.
       All people will come to you.
 ³ Our guilt overwhelms us,
       but you forgive our sins.
 ⁴ Happy are the people you choose
       and invite to stay in your court.
    We are filled with good things in your house,
       your holy Temple.

 ⁵ You answer us in amazing ways,
       God our Savior.
    People everywhere on the earth
       and beyond the sea trust you.
 ⁶ You made the mountains by your strength;
       you are dressed in power.
 ⁷ You stopped the roaring seas,
       the roaring waves,
       and the uproar of the nations.
 ⁸ Even those people at the ends of the earth fear your miracles.
       You are praised from where the sun rises to where it sets.

 ⁹ You take care of the land and water it;
       you make it very fertile.
    The rivers of God are full of water.
       Grain grows because you make it grow.
 ¹⁰ You send rain to the plowed fields;
       you fill the rows with water.
    You soften the ground with rain,
       and then you bless it with crops.
 ¹¹ You give the year a good harvest,
       and you load the wagons with many crops.
 ¹² The desert is covered with grass
       and the hills with happiness.
 ¹³ The pastures are full of flocks,
       and the valleys are covered with grain.
       Everything shouts and sings for joy. (Psalm 65, New Century Version) Pin It Now!
