PSALMS
	PSALM 65
	
		David speaks of the blessedness of God’s chosen—The Lord sends rain and good things upon the earth.
	
	To the chief Musician, A Psalm and song of David.
	
		1 P
RAISE 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.
