To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.
PRAISE waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

1 For the leader. A psalm of David. A song.

2 To you we owe our hymn of praise, O God on Zion; To you our vows must be fulfilled,

3 you who hear our prayers. To you all flesh must come

4 with its burden of wicked deeds. We are overcome by our sins; only you can pardon them.

5 Blessed the one whom you will choose and bring to dwell in your courts. May we be filled with the good things of your house, your holy temple!

6 You answer us with awesome deeds of justice, O God our savior, The hope of all the ends of the earth and of those far off across the sea.

7 You are robed in power, you set up the mountains by your might.

8 You still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples.

9 Distant peoples stand in awe of your marvels; the places of morning and evening you make resound with joy.

10 You visit the earth and water it, make it abundantly fertile. God’s stream is filled with water; you supply their grain. Thus do you prepare it:

11 you drench its plowed furrows, and level its ridges. With showers you keep it soft, blessing its young sprouts.

12 You adorn the year with your bounty; your paths drip with fruitful rain.

13 The meadows of the wilderness also drip; the hills are robed with joy.

14 The pastures are clothed with flocks, the valleys blanketed with grain; they cheer and sing for joy.

A Song of the Sea and the Harvest Psalm 65: The earth shouts for Joy, with its Abundant crops as God crowns the year with goodness.

The earth shouts for joy, with its abundant crops. God crowns the earth with goodness.

Verses 1-4 David’s song of harvest blessing may have been sung at the annual Feast of First fruits, Lev. 23:9-14. With sins confessed they could come with satisfaction and blessing into the courts of the Lord at the temple.

Verses 5-8 He declares how awesome God’s power to create mountains is still the seas and quiet the fears of the people.

Verses 9-13. Because God has cared for the land with abundant showers, they have had abundant harvest. Not only the people but even nature rejoices in bounty.
