Psalm 65

¹For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him.

¹¹Make and fulfill your vows to the Lord your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

¹⁷I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord.

¹⁸I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people,

¹³Be exalted, O Lord, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.

¹Additionally, David and the commanders of the army set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to prophesy with the accompaniment of lyres, harps, and cymbals. The following is the list of the men who performed this service:

²From the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah. These sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the direction of the king.

¹²Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.

¹²Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

¹³You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

²⁴Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

²³From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.

¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

¹⁵And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.

⁹All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.

¹⁹But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer.

⁴For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear.

⁷And with it he touched my mouth and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for.”

⁹Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; deliver us and atone for our sins, for the sake of Your name.

⁷But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

⁸If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

¹⁴how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God!

¹⁷For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.

⁴For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love

⁶Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

⁴How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah

⁴Remember me, O Lord, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation,

⁵that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, and give glory with Your inheritance.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!

⁸They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.

²¹He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome wonders that your eyes have seen.

²²Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

³and they sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and wonderful are Your works, O Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!

⁴Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”

³Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.

⁴In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.

¹⁹Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God of our salvation. Selah

²⁰Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord God is our rescuer from death.

¹The Lord reigns! He is robed in majesty; the Lord has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

⁶He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations; the ancient mountains crumbled; the perpetual hills collapsed. His ways are everlasting.

⁹⁰Your faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it endures.

²Hear, O mountains, the Lord’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the Lord has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:

⁹Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord. Wake up as in days past, as in generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced through the dragon?

⁴The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble are equipped with strength.

⁹You rule the raging sea; when its waves mount up, You still them.

³The floodwaters have risen, O Lord; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves.

⁴Above the roar of many waters—the mighty breakers of the sea—the Lord on high is majestic.

¹²Alas, the tumult of many peoples; they rage like the roaring seas and clamoring nations; they rumble like the crashing of mighty waters.

¹³The nations rage like the rush of many waters. He rebukes them, and they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills, like tumbleweeds before a gale.

²⁹He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.

⁶When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

²⁶“You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.

²⁷The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

³Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.

⁸the sun to rule the day, His loving devotion endures forever.

²⁰You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the beasts of the forest prowl.

²¹The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.

¹⁶The day is Yours, and also the night; You established the moon and the sun.

⁵They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.

⁶Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.

³God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His glory covered the heavens, and His praise filled the earth.

⁴His radiance was like the sunlight; rays flashed from His hand, where His power is hidden.

⁴There is a river whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

¹Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

¹³He waters the mountains from His chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works.

¹⁴He makes the grass grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, bringing forth food from the earth:

²⁴They have not said in their hearts, ‘Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives the rains, both autumn and spring, in season, who keeps for us the appointed weeks of harvest.’

⁹You sent abundant rain, O God; You refreshed Your weary inheritance.

¹⁰Your flock settled therein; O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor.

²³Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for He has given you the autumn rains for your vindication. He sends you showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.

²⁴The threshing floors will be full of grain, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

⁶I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.

⁷So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

⁸who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.

²Let my teaching fall like rain and my speech settle like dew, like gentle rain on new grass, like showers on tender plants.

²¹Do not be afraid, O land; rejoice and be glad, for the Lord has done great things.

²²Do not be afraid, O beasts of the field, for the open pastures have turned green, the trees bear their fruit, and the fig tree and vine yield their best.

⁴who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,

¹²For surely You, O Lord, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.

⁸They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.

¹⁹Is there still seed in the barn? The vine, the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet yielded fruit. But from this day on, I will bless you.”

¹⁰Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this,” says the Lord of Hosts. “See if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out for you blessing without measure.

²⁶to bring rain on a barren land, on a desert where no man lives,

²⁷to satisfy the parched wasteland and make it sprout with tender grass?

¹⁰He sends forth springs in the valleys; they flow between the mountains.

¹¹They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

²²Do not be afraid, O beasts of the field, for the open pastures have turned green, the trees bear their fruit, and the fig tree and vine yield their best.

¹⁰I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

¹¹For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.

⁶You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.

⁹“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

¹⁰For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,

¹²You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

¹The wilderness and the dry land will be glad; the desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.

²It will bloom profusely and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God.

²³Then He will send rain for the seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food that comes from your land will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.

¹⁷Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”

¹¹Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

¹²Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

²³Sing for joy, O heavens, for the Lord has done this; shout aloud, O depths of the earth. Break forth in song, O mountains, you forests and all your trees. For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and revealed His glory in Israel.
