¹ To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence -- praise, O God, [is] in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.² Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.³ Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions -- Thou dost cover them.⁴ O the happiness of [him whom] Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.⁵ By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.

⁶ Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,⁷ Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.⁸ And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.⁹ Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God [is] full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,¹⁰ Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.¹¹ Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.¹² Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.¹³ Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout -- yea, they sing!
