To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song.

¹ Praise waiteth for thee in silence, O God, in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be 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.

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.

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. …

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

⁷ Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging 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.

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:

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

¹¹ 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.

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