Psalms 65:13

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;

who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields;

For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.

For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

They will come and sing in the height of Zion, and will flow to the goodness of Yahweh, to the grain, to the new wine, to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. Their soul will be as a watered garden. They will not sorrow any more at all.

that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

that I will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.

I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves therein!

The floods have lifted up, Yahweh, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves.

Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.

He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With a voice of singing announce this, tell it even to the end of the earth: say, “Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob!”

Sing, heavens, and be joyful, earth! Break out into singing, mountains, for Yahweh has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.

For Yahweh has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace. The mountains and the hills will break out before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands.

Your sun will not go down any more, nor will your moon withdraw itself; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will end.

Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren’t you he, Yahweh our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.

Thanksgiving will proceed out of them with the voice of those who make merry. I will multiply them, and they will not be few; I will also glorify them, and they will not be small.

For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”

You will know also that your offspring will be great, Your offspring as the grass of the earth.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!

He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing, neither joyful noise. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.

He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.

For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.

Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey.

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? Haven’t you been told from the beginning? Haven’t you understood from the foundations of the earth?

I bring my righteousness near. It is not far off, and my salvation will not wait. I will grant salvation to Zion, my glory to Israel.

He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”

I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying will be heard in her no more.

They don’t say in their heart, ‘Let’s now fear Yahweh our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season, who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.’

Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, will sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers will come to her from the north,” says Yahweh.

“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in Yahweh, your God; for he gives you the early rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the early rain and the latter rain, as before.

In all vineyards there will be wailing; for I will pass through the middle of you,” says Yahweh.

He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,

By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.

then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow.

Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.

Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy

For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.”

The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out in song.

Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.

“Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God.

Sing, you heavens, for Yahweh has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees, for Yahweh has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.

who confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited;’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be built,’ and ‘I will raise up its waste places;’

Those ransomed by Yahweh will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Then your people will all be righteous. They will inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

They will rebuild the old ruins. They will raise up the former devastated places. They will repair the ruined cities that have been devastated for many generations.

Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty.

Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.

While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”

Your threshing shall continue until the vintage, and the vintage shall continue until the sowing time. You shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Yahweh your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.

If my land cries out against me, and its furrows weep together;

when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning’s dawn and the evening with songs of joy.

Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.

Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.

The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.

He sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.

Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!

He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.

Then Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”

Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.

Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.

The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.

For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,” says Yahweh of Armies, “if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be room enough for.

Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

“Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her.”
