Psalm 65. Te decet hymnus.

1. You are to be praised, O God, in Zion; *
   to you shall vows be performed in Jerusalem.
2. To you that hear prayer shall all flesh come, *
   because of their transgressions.
3. Our sins are stronger than we are, *
   but you will blot them out.
4. Happy are they whom you choose and draw to your courts to dwell there! *
   they will be satisfied by the beauty of your house, by the holiness of your temple.
5. Awesome things will you show us in your righteousness, O God of our salvation, *
   O Hope of all the ends of the earth and of the seas that are far away.
6. You make fast the mountains by your power; *
   they are girded about with might.
7. You still the roaring of the seas, *
   the roaring of their waves, and the clamor of the peoples.
8. Those who dwell at the ends of the earth will tremble at your marvelous signs; *
   you make the dawn and the dusk to sing for joy.
9. You visit the earth and water it abundantly; you make it very plenteous; *
   the river of God is full of water.
10. You prepare the grain, *
    for so you provide for the earth.
11. You drench the furrows and smooth out the ridges; *
    with heavy rain you soften the ground and bless its increase.
12. You crown the year with your goodness, *
    and your paths overflow with plenty.
13. May the fields of the wilderness be rich for grazing, *
    and the hills be clothed with joy.
14. May the meadows cover themselves with flocks, and the valleys cloak themselves with grain; *
    let them shout for joy and sing.
