*Psalms 65

₁O God, we must praise You in Zion,

and we will do what we promised You.

₂You are the One who listens to our prayers.

All the people of the world

will come and worship You and

₃confess that they are sinners.

Our sins are too many for us to carry,

but You forgive our sins and take them away.

₄If You choose people

and invite them to come

and stand in your temple,

they are really blessed and happy.

We are so happy to have the

wonderful things that are in

your temple, your holy place.

₅When we pray to You,

You answer us by giving us

wonderful and righteous things.

O God, You are our Saviour.

All the people know

that You will help them,

even those in the

furthest places on earth

and on the other side of the sea.

₆You are stronger

than anything and anyone.

You are the One who put

the mountains in their place.

₇When You speak, the sea

and the waves become still

and all the nations become quiet.

₈People at the end of the earth

fear You when they see

the miracles that You do.

You make them rejoice

from the east to the west.

₉You take care of the earth.

You give rain and You

make the ground fertile.

The rivers of God are full of water,

and the wheat grows because

You make it grow.

₁₀You send rain

to the wheat_fields,

so there is a lot of water on the fields

where people have ploughed.

You make the hard ground wet

and soft with the rain

and You bless the plants

and make them grow.

₁₁You give a big harvest.

Everything grows well and

the wagons are full of wheat.

₁₂The fields are full of grass

for the sheep to eat

and the hills rejoice.

₁₃The fields are full of sheep,

the valleys are full of wheat

and all the people sing and rejoice.
