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