Image is to set the theme, not to be accurate.

65 Praise 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.

To the director: A praise song of David.

65 God in Zion, we praise you
and give you what we promised.
² Anyone can come to you,
and you will listen to their prayers.
³ When our sins become too heavy for us,
you wipe them away.
⁴ Oh, how wonderful it is to be the people you chose
to come and stay in your Temple.
And we are so happy to have the wonderful things
that are in your Temple, your holy palace.
⁵ God, you answer our prayers and do what is right.
You do amazing things to save us.
People all over the world know they can trust in you,
even those who live across the sea.
⁶ You made the mountains.
We see your power all around us.
⁷ You can calm the roughest seas
or the nations raging around us.
⁸ People all around the world are amazed at the wonderful things you do.
You make all people, east and west, sing with joy.
⁹ You take care of the land.
You water it and make it fertile.
Your streams are always filled with water.
That’s how you make the crops grow.
¹⁰ You pour rain on the plowed fields;
you soak the fields with water.
You make the ground soft with rain,
and you make the young plants grow.
¹¹ You start the new year with a good harvest.
You end the year with many crops. ^{[ a ]}
¹² The desert and hills are covered with grass.
¹³ The pastures are covered with sheep.
The valleys are filled with grain.
Everything is singing and shouting for joy.
