Psalm 65:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 You still the roaring of the seas,(A)
the roaring of their waves,
the tumult of the peoples.(B)
9 Distant peoples stand in awe of your marvels;
the places of morning and evening you make resound with joy.
10 [a]You visit the earth and water it,
make it abundantly fertile.(C)
God’s stream[b] is filled with water;
you supply their grain.
Thus do you prepare it:
