Psalm 65, translated by Dr. Ellen Davis
To You, silence is praise, O God in Zion,
and to You vows are paid.
O You who hear prayer, before You all flesh comes.
Reports of wrongdoing are overwhelming for me;
our transgressions – You are the one who atones for them.
Fortunate are those whom You chose
and draw near to dwell in Your courts.
May we be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.
With awesome works, in righteousness,
You respond to us, O God of our salvation,
the Confidence of all the ends of the earth,
and the far reaches of the sea.
He sets firm mountains in his strength;
He is girded with might.
He stills the roar of the seas, the roar of their waves,
and the din of nations.
Those dwelling at [earth’s] ends
feel reverent-fear at your signs;
the horizons of morning and evening
You make ring with joy.
You visit the earth and water it;
abundantly You enrich it –
God’s stream, full of water.
You set their grain – just so You set it.
Drenching its furrows, settling its hillocks,
You soften it with showers; its growth You bless.
You crown the year with Your goodness,
and Your wagon-tracks drip richness.
Wilderness pastures are dripping,
and hills are girdled with rejoicing.
Meadows are clothed with the flocks,
and valleys robed with grain.
They shout out; they even sing.
