For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.

Praise awaits^[b] you, our God, in Zion;^(a) to you our vows will be fulfilled.^(b)

You who answer prayer, to you all people will come.^(c)

When we were overwhelmed by sins,^(d) you forgave^[c] our transgressions.^(e)

Blessed are those you choose^(f) and bring near^(g) to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house,^(h) of your holy temple.

You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,⁽ⁱ⁾ God our Savior,^(j) the hope of all the ends of the earth^(k) and of the farthest seas,^(l)

who formed the mountains^(m) by your power, having armed yourself with strength,⁽ⁿ⁾

who stilled the roaring of the seas,^(o) the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.^(p)

The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.^(q)

You care for the land and water it;^(r) you enrich it abundantly.^(s) The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain,^(t) for so you have ordained it.^[d]

You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers^(u) and bless its crops.

You crown the year with your bounty,^(v) and your carts overflow with abundance.^(w)

The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;^(x) the hills are clothed with gladness.^(y)

The meadows are covered with flocks^(z) and the valleys are mantled with grain;^(aa) they shout for joy and sing.^(ab)
