Psalm 65:1-12

1. Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled.
2. You who answer prayer, to you all people will come.
3. When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions.
4. Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple.
5. You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds, God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas,
6. who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength,
7. who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
8. The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.
9. You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it.
10. You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
11. The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness.
12. The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing. 
13. The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing.
