^{1 Ref} <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. A Song.> It is right for you, O God, to have praise in Zion: to you let the offering be made.

^{2 Ref} To you, O hearer of prayer, let the words of all flesh come.

^{3 Ref} Evils have overcome us: but as for our sins, you will take them away.

^{4 Ref} Happy is the man of your selection, to whom you give a resting-place in your house; we will be full of the good things out of your holy place.

^{5 Ref} You will give us an answer in righteousness by great acts of power, O God of our salvation; you who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of the far-off lands of the sea;

^{6 Ref} The God by whose strength the mountains are fixed; who is robed with power:

^{7 Ref} Who makes the loud voice of the sea quiet, and puts an end to the sound of its waves.

^{8 Ref} Those in the farthest parts of the earth have fear when they see your signs: the outgoings of the morning and evening are glad because of you.

^{9 Ref} You have given your blessing to the earth, watering it and making it fertile; the river of God is full of water: and having made it ready, you give men grain.

^{10 Ref} You make the ploughed lands full of water; you make smooth the slopes: you make the earth soft with showers, sending your blessing on its growth.

^{11 Ref} The year is crowned with the good you give; life-giving rain is dropping from your footsteps,

^{12 Ref} Falling on the grass of the waste land: and the little hills are glad on every side.

^{13 Ref} The grass-land is thick with flocks; the valleys are full of grain; they give glad cries and songs of joy.

^{1 Ref} To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence -- praise, O God, `is' in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.

^{2 Ref} Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.

^{3 Ref} Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions -- Thou dost cover them.

^{4 Ref} O the happiness of `him whom' Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.

^{5 Ref} By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.

^{6 Ref} Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,

^{7 Ref} Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.

^{8 Ref} And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.

^{9 Ref} Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God `is' full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,

^{10 Ref} Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.

^{11 Ref} Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.

^{12 Ref} Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.

^{13 Ref} Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout -- yea, they sing!

^{1 Ref} Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion; And unto thee shall the vow be performed.

^{2 Ref} O thou that hearest prayer, Unto thee shall all flesh come.

^{3 Ref} Iniquities prevail against me: As for our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.

^{4 Ref} Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach `unto thee', That he may dwell in thy courts: We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, Thy holy temple.

^{5 Ref} By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, Oh God of our salvation, Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of them that are afar off upon the sea:

^{6 Ref} Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains, Being girded about with might;

^{7 Ref} Who stilleth the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.

^{8 Ref} They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

^{9 Ref} Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it, Thou greatly enrichest it; The river of God is full of water: Thou providest them grain, when thou hast so prepared the earth.

^{10 Ref} Thou waterest its furrows abundantly; Thou settlest the ridges thereof: Thou makest it soft with showers; Thou blessest the springing thereof.

^{11 Ref} Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; And thy paths drop fatness.

^{12 Ref} They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness; And the hills are girded with joy.

^{13 Ref} The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered over with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing. Psalm 66 For the Chief Musician. A song, a Psalm.
