1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waits for you, O God, in Zion; And to you shall the vow be performed.
2O you who hear prayer, To you all flesh shall come.
3Iniquities prevail against me: As for our transgressions, you will forgive them.
4Blessed is the man whom you choose, and cause to approach you, That he may dwell in your courts: We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, Your holy temple.
5By awesome things you will answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of those who are afar off upon the sea:
6Who by his strength sets fast the mountains, Being girded about with might;
7Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.
8Those also who dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at your signs: You make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice.
9You visit the earth, and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water: You provide them grain, when you have so prepared the earth.
10You water its furrows abundantly; You settle its ridges: You make it soft with showers; You bless its growth.
11You crown the year with your goodness; And your paths drop fatness.
12They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness; And the hills are girded with joy.
13The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered over with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing.
