¹ To the chief musician. A Psalm and Song of David. To You silence is praise, O God, in Zion; and to You is a vow paid.² To You who hears prayer, all flesh comes.³ Things of iniquity, our transgressions, are mightier than I; You atone for them.⁴ Blessed is the one You choose and cause to come near You; he shall dwell in Your courts; we shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.⁵ You will answer us in righteousness by awesome things, O God of our salvation; the Confidence of all the ends of the earth and the sea, of those afar off.

⁶ By Your strength the mountains are established, banded together with might.⁷ You still the roaring of the sea, the roar of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.⁸ And those living in the uttermost parts are afraid of Your signs; You make the outgoings of the morning and the evening to rejoice.⁹ You visit the earth and water it; You greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water. You provide their grain, for in this way You have prepared it.¹⁰ You fill its terraces with water. You deepen its furrows. You make it soft with showers. You bless the sprouting of it.¹¹ You crown the year of Your goodness, and Your paths drip with fatness.¹² The pastures of the wilderness drop, and the little hills gird themselves with joy.¹³ The meadows are outfitted with flocks; the valleys are also covered with grain; they shout for joy and sing.
