The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 65. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song. Praise waits for you, God, in Zion. Vows shall be performed to you. You who hear prayer, all men will come to you. Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions. Blessed is the one whom you choose and cause to come near, that he may live in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your holy temple. By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea. By your power, you form the mountains, having armed yourself with strength. You still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations. They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning’s dawn and the evening with songs of joy. You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it. You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop. You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance. The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness. The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed with grain. They shout for joy! They also sing.

Worship Lyrics

For the Chief Musician
A Psalm by David
A song
Praise waits for you, God, in Zion
Vows shall be performed to you
You who hear prayer, all men will come to you
Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions
Blessed is the one whom you choose and cause to come near, that he may live in your courts
We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your holy temple
By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation
You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea
By your power, you form the mountains, having armed yourself with strength
You still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves
And the turmoil of the nations
They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders
You call the mornings dawn and the evening with songs of joy
You visit the earth, and water it
You greatly enrich it
The river of God is full of water
You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it
You drench its furrows
You level its ridges
You soften it with showers
You bless it with a crop
You crown the year with your bounty
Your carts overflow with abundance
The wilderness grasslands overflow
The hills are clothed with gladness
The pastures are covered with flocks
The valleys also are clothed with grain
They shout for joy
They also sing
