Psalms 65:6
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.
5 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.
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.
8 Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
