For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.

• ¹Praise waits for you, God, in Zion.
• To you shall vows be performed.

• ²You who hear prayer,
• to you all men will come.

• ³Sins overwhelmed me,
• but you atoned for our transgressions.

• ⁴Blessed is one whom you choose, and cause to come near,
• that he may live in your courts.
• We will be filled with the goodness of your house,
• your holy temple.

• ⁵By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us,
• God of our salvation.

• You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth,
• of those who are far away on the sea;

• ⁶Who by his power forms the mountains,
• having armed yourself with strength;

• ⁷who stills the roaring of the seas,
• the roaring of their waves,
• and the turmoil of the nations.

• ⁸They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders.
• You call the morning’s dawn and the evening with songs of joy.

• ⁹You visit the earth, and water it.
• You greatly enrich it.

• The river of God is full of water.
• You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it.

• ¹⁰You drench its furrows.
• You level its ridges.
• You soften it with showers.
• You bless it with a crop.

• ¹¹You crown the year with your bounty.
• Your carts overflow with abundance.

• ¹²The wilderness grasslands overflow.
• The hills are clothed with gladness.

• ¹³The pastures are covered with flocks.
• The valleys also are clothed with grain.

• They shout for joy!
• They also sing.
