1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall
the vow be performed.
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou
shalt purge them away.
4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach
unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be
satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy
temple.
5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God
of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of
the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded
with power:
7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their
waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy
tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening
to rejoice.
9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly
enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water:
thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the
furrows thereof: 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 little
hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are
covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
