Hoffnung für Alle
Psalm 65
Hoffnung für Alle
Du überschüttest uns mit deinen Gaben
65 Ein Lied von David.
2 Dir gebühren Anbetung und Lob,[a]
du Gott, der auf dem Berg Zion wohnt.
Was man dir versprochen hat,
das löst man dort dankbar für dich ein.
3 Du bist es, der Gebete erhört,
darum kommen die Menschen zu dir.
4 Schwere Schuld drückt uns[b] zu Boden;
doch trotz unserer Untreue wirst du uns vergeben.
5 Glücklich ist jeder, den du erwählt hast
und den du zu deinem Heiligtum kommen lässt!
Er darf in den Vorhöfen des Tempels zu Hause sein.
Wir sehnen uns nach all dem Guten,
das du in deinem Haus für uns bereithältst.
6 Gott, auf deine Gerechtigkeit ist Verlass!
Mit ehrfurchtgebietenden Taten antwortest du uns,
wenn wir deine Hilfe brauchen.
Selbst in den entferntesten Winkeln der Erde
setzen die Menschen ihre Hoffnung auf dich.
7 Mit deiner Kraft hast du die Berge gebildet,
deine Macht ist allen sichtbar.
8 Du besänftigst das Brausen der Meere,
die tosenden Wellen lässt du verstummen;
ja, auch die tobenden Völker bringst du zum Schweigen.
9 Alle Bewohner der Erde erschrecken vor deinen Taten,
vom Osten bis zum Westen jubeln die Menschen dir zu.
10 Du sorgst für das ganze Land, machst es reich und fruchtbar.
Du füllst die Bäche und Flüsse mit Wasser,
damit Getreide in Hülle und Fülle wächst.
11 Du befeuchtest das gepflügte Land
und tränkst es mit strömendem Regen.
Das ausgedörrte Erdreich weichst du auf,
und alle Pflanzen lässt du gedeihen.
12 Du schenkst eine reiche und gute Ernte –
sie ist die Krönung des ganzen Jahres.
13 Selbst die Steppe fängt an zu blühen,
von den Hügeln hört man Freudenrufe.
14 Dicht an dicht drängen sich die Herden auf den Weiden,
und mit wogendem Korn sind die Täler bedeckt.
Alles ist erfüllt von Jubel und Gesang.

Psalm 65
King James Version
65 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
4 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, even of thy holy temple.
5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 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 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

O God of Our Salvation
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song.
65 Praise (A)is due to you,[a] O God, in Zion,
and to you shall (B)vows be performed.
2 O you who (C)hear prayer,
to you (D)shall all flesh come.
3 When (E)iniquities prevail against me,
you (F)atone for our transgressions.
4 (G)Blessed is the one you choose and bring near,
to (H)dwell in your courts!
We shall be (I)satisfied with the goodness of your house,
the holiness of your temple!
5 By (J)awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
O God of our salvation,
the hope of all (K)the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas;
6 the one who by his strength established the mountains,
being (L)girded with might;
7 who (M)stills the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
(N)the tumult of the peoples,
8 so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs.
You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.
9 You visit the earth and (O)water it;[b]
you greatly enrich it;
(P)the river of God is full of water;
(Q)you provide their grain,
for so you have prepared it.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
settling its ridges,
softening it with (R)showers,
and blessing its growth.
11 You crown the year with your bounty;
your wagon tracks (S)overflow with abundance.
12 (T)The pastures of the wilderness overflow,
the hills (U)gird themselves with joy,
13 (V)the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
the valleys deck themselves with grain,
they (W)shout and sing together for joy.
