psalm 65

praise awaits you Lord

you who hear prayer

when sin overwhelmed us

you forgive with care

blessed are those who

you choose to bring near

we're filled with the good things

of the house of the temple cheered

you answer us with the awesome deeds of righteousness

Oh God our saviour

the hope of all the ends of the earth and the farthest seas

formed the mountains by your power

armed with strength for this very hour

you give the land water

enrich it great

you give the streams water

the people grain

for you have ordained it

drench the furrows and level its ridge

you soften it with showers

carts overflow with abundance

you still the roaring of the seas the roaring of the waves

and the turmoil of the nations

those living far away fear your wonders

where morning dawns and evening fades

you call forth songs of joy

you crown the year with bounty

the grasslands of the desert overflow

the meadows with flocks past counting

the hills with gladness grow

the valleys are mantled with grain

they shout for joy and sing

they shout for joy and sing now

they shout for joy and sing

they shout for joy and sing now
