65:1 Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled.
65:2 O you who hear prayer, to you all men will come.
65:3 When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions.
65:4 Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple.
65:5 You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas,
65:6 who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength,
65:7 who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
65:8 Those living far away fear your wonders; where morning dawns and evening fades you call forth songs of joy.
65:9 You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it.
65:10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
65:11 You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance.
65:12 The grasslands of the desert overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness.
65:13 The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing.
