Psalms 65:5
3 When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.
4 Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.
With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.
6 You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.
7 You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.
