UST PSA Chapter 65

65 This is a note for the worship leader: wrote song.

1 God, when you come to your sanctuary on Mount Zion,

you will find that we have been waiting quietly to praise you

and to do what we promised we would do to honor you.

2 Because you help people when they pray,

people everywhere will pray to you.

3 When we feel very badly because we have done wrong things,

you forgive our sins and make it as if we had not committed them.

4 When you invite people to come and worship you in your sanctuary,

that makes them very happy!

When we come to your sanctuary,

we realize how good and holy you are,

and that satisfies us completely.

5 When we pray to you, you do good and powerful things to help us.

You are the God who saves us.

Even people who live in very remote places on the earth,

on the other side of the oceans, trust in you.

6 You are so strong, you were able to use your power

to set the mountains in their places.

7 When there is a storm at sea, you can calm it

and stop its waves from crashing on the shore.

In the same way, you can keep nations from causing trouble.

8 People who live in very remote places on the earth

deeply respect you because of the miracles that you perform.

People who live all over the world celebrate what you do.

9 You send rain to make the soil fertile

so that it will produce good crops.

It is as if you bring water to the fields in a stream.

That is how you prepare the earth

to produce abundant crops.

10 You send rain on the plowed fields,

and you fill their furrows with water.

You soften the hard clods of soil with showers,

and you help young plants to grow in the fields.

11 When harvest time comes, the fields are glorious with crops,

as if you had put a golden crown on them.

You provide food for people in great abundance.

12 There is plenty of food for sheep and goats to eat in the pastures where they graze.

So many crops grow on the hills that it is as if the hills were celebrating.

13 Flocks of sheep and goats cover the meadows like a garment,

and there is so much grain in the valleys that the ground is not visible.

It is as if the meadows and valleys are singing and shouting joyfully.
