- Chapter 65 -

God, praise awaits you in Zion

1
Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.(a)
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.(b)
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.(c)
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.(d)
10
Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.(e) (f)
11
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.(g)
12
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.(h)
13
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
