Psalms Chapter 65

                                                For the Choir Director. A Psalm of David

A Song

⁵ You answer us with awesome deeds, God who keeps us safe,

      who is trusted in every land and the farthest sea.

⁶ You established the mountains by your power

                  and dressed yourself with strength,

         ⁷you that still the roaring seas

            and the disturbances among the nations.

⁸ They who live at the ends of the earth

                  stand in awe at your wonders;

      you make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.

Ps 65:5-8

⁹ You take care of the earth and water it;

      you greatly enrich the ground and provide the water

            to grow the grain;

            that’s how you’ve ordained things to work.

¹⁰ You water the plowed ground abundantly and level its ridges;

      you soften its clods with showers and bless its growth.

¹¹ You crown the year with abundant harvests;

      paths get overgrown with lush vegetation.

¹² The pastures in the countryside drip with dew;

         the hills blossom with rejoicing.

¹³ The meadows are clothed with flocks;

         the valleys are covered with grain;

      they shout and sing for joy.

Ps 65:9-13
