Psalm 65In Hebrew texts 65:1-13 is numbered 65:2-14.
For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.
1Praise awaits65:1 Or befits; the meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. you, our God, in Zion;
to you our vows will be fulfilled.
2You who answer prayer,
to you all people will come.
3When we were overwhelmed by sins,
you forgave65:3 Or made atonement for our transgressions.
4Blessed 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.
5You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,
God our Savior,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas,
6who formed the mountains by your power,
having armed yourself with strength,
7who stilled the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
and the turmoil of the nations.
8The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
where morning dawns, where evening fades,
you call forth songs of joy.
9You 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.65:9 Or for that is how you prepare the land
10You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
11You crown the year with your bounty,
and your carts overflow with abundance.
12The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;
the hills are clothed with gladness.
13The meadows are covered with flocks
and the valleys are mantled with grain;
they shout for joy and sing.
En takkesang ved høstfesten
1Til korlederen: En lovsang af David.
2Zions Gud, vi vil lovprise dig,
vi vil indfri vore løfter til dig.
3Du er en Gud, der hører bøn,
og vi kommer alle til dig.
4Når vi indrømmer vores synd,
oplever vi din nådige tilgivelse.
5Lykkelige er de, du lader leve i din nærhed.
Vi jubler over alt det gode, du giver os.
6Du er vores frelser, Gud,
du redder os ved dine mægtige undere.
Du kan give håb til alle og enhver,
hvor de end bor i den vide verden.
7Du er den almægtige Gud.
Du formede de enorme bjerge,
8du dæmper bølgernes brusen
og standser nationernes oprør.
9Alle folkeslag forundres over dine vældige gerninger,
du bliver lovprist både i øst og i vest.
10Du vander jorden og gør den frugtbar,
du fylder floderne med enorme vandmasser.
Du sørger for væde til jorden,
så der bliver en god høst.
11Du sender regn til de pløjede marker,
så furerne fyldes med vand.
Du blødgør jorden med regn
og giver grobund for den sæd, der er sået.
12Når høsten er omme, er laderne fulde,
din velsignelse betyder overflod.
13Græsgangene i ødemarken glinser af væde,
bakkerne blomstrer af fryd.
14Fårene flokkes på de frodige enge,
dalene klædes i korn.
Hele dit skaberværk synger af glæde.
