Psalms 65:1-2

Psalm 65

For the music director; a psalm of David, a song.

65:1 Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion.

Vows made to you are fulfilled.

65:2 You hear prayers;

all people approach you.


sn Psalm 65. The psalmist praises God because he forgives sin and blesses his people with an abundant harvest.

tn Heb “for you, silence, praise.” Many prefer to emend the noun דֻּמִיָּה (dumiyyah, “silence”) to a participle דּוֹמִיָּה (domiyyah), from the root דָּמָה (damah, “be silent”), understood here in the sense of “wait.”

tn Heb “O one who hears prayer.”

tn Heb “to you all flesh comes.”
