65:2 You hear prayers; 1
all people approach you. 2
65:3 Our record of sins overwhelms me, 3
but you forgive 4 our acts of rebellion.
65:4 How blessed 5 is the one whom you choose,
and allow to live in your palace courts. 6
May we be satisfied with the good things of your house –
your holy palace. 7
65:5 You answer our prayers by performing awesome acts of deliverance,
O God, our savior. 8
All the ends of the earth trust in you, 9
as well as those living across the wide seas. 10
65:6 You created the mountains by your power, 11
and demonstrated your strength. 12
65:7 You calm the raging seas 13
and their roaring waves,
as well as the commotion made by the nations. 14
65:8 Even those living in the most remote areas are awestruck by your acts; 15
you cause those living in the east and west to praise you. 16
65:9 You visit the earth and give it rain; 17
you make it rich and fertile 18
with overflowing streams full of water. 19
You provide grain for them, 20
for you prepare the earth to yield its crops. 21
