For the Leader. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Zion; and unto Thee the vow is performed.

2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

3 Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.

The tale of iniquities is too heavy for me; as for our transgressions, Thou wilt pardon them.

4 Blessed is he whom thou choosest and causest to approach: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, of thy holy temple.

Happy is the man whom Thou choosest, and bringest near, that he may dwell in Thy courts; may we be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, the holy place of Thy temple!

5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of the sea. ...

With wondrous works dost Thou answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; Thou the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the far distant seas;

6 Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power;

Who by Thy strength settest fast the mountains, who art girded about with might;

7 Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.

Who stillest the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples;

8 And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens; thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

So that they that dwell in the uttermost parts stand in awe of Thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

9 Thou hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it:

Thou hast remembered the earth, and watered her, greatly enriching her, with the river of God that is full of water; Thou preparest them corn, for so preparest Thou her.

10 Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.

Watering her ridges abundantly, settling down the furrows thereof, Thou makest her soft with showers; Thou blessest the growth thereof.

11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness:

Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drop fatness.

12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with gladness.

The pastures of the wilderness do drop; and the hills are girded with joy.

13 The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.

The meadows are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
