Psalms 65:5

Psalms 65:5

3 Iniquities prevail against me;
As for our transgressions,
You will ^aprovide atonement for them.

4 ^aBlessed is the man You ^bchoose,
And cause to approach You,
That he may dwell in Your courts.
^cWe shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Of Your holy temple.

5 By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us,
O God of our salvation,
You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
And of the far-off seas;

6 Who established the mountains by His strength,
^aBeing clothed with power;

7 ^aYou who still the noise of the seas,
The noise of their waves,
^bAnd the tumult of the peoples.

8 They also who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs;
You make the outgoings of the morning and evening¹ rejoice.

9 You¹ visit the earth and ^awater it,
You greatly enrich it;
^bThe river of God is full of water;
You provide their grain,
For so You have prepared it.

10 You water its ridges abundantly,
You settle its furrows;
You make it soft with showers,
You bless its growth.
