Hymn of thanksgiving

Psalm 65:1-13
Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house.
You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior.
You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for you have ordained(預定) it (for that is how you prepare the land).
You crown the year with your bounty(賞金;你以恩典為年歲的冠冕), and your carts overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the desert overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness.
This psalm may have been used at the harvest festival.
All praise to God who hears and forgives faults, who blesses satisfies and saves.
Praise to God the Creator and Controller of the natural world.
Praise to God who gives the harvest and makes the whole earth ring with joy.
Why?
God answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, God knows what is good to us and what reward to us according to our deeds.
Blessed are those who be chosen by the Lord, that may live in God's courts, for there are filled with good things.
God is good who prepared for us with abundance, and to the earth all living life.
How?
Today is the Holy day to church, and praise to God who gives the harvest and makes the whole earth ring with joy. Praise the Lord!
