Psalms

Psalm 65:8–13

⁸Those who live far away fear Your wonders;

You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.^a

⁹You attend to the earth and water it;^b

with abundance You enrich it.

The streams of God are full of water,

for You prepare our grain

by providing for the earth.^c

¹⁰You soak its furrows and level its ridges;

You soften it with showers and bless its growth.

¹¹You crown the year with Your bounty,

and Your paths overflow with plenty.

¹²The pastures of the wilderness overflow;

the hills are robed with joy.

¹³The pastures are clothed with flocks,

and the valleys are decked with grain.

They shout in triumph;

indeed, they sing.
