Psalms 65 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible
Psalms 65
1Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion; And unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2O thou that hearest prayer, Unto thee shall all flesh come.
3Iniquities prevail against me: As for our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.
4Blessed 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.
5By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, O 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:
6Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains, Being girded about with might;
7Who stilleth the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.
8They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9Thou 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.
10Thou waterest its furrows abundantly; Thou settlest the ridges thereof: Thou makest it soft with showers; Thou blessest the springing thereof.
11Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; And thy paths drop fatness.
12They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness; And the hills are girded with joy.
13The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered over with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing.
Psalms 65
1Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled.
2O You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You.
3When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.
4Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.
5With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.
6You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.
7You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.
8Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.
9You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for the earth.
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.
