4
Happy are those whom you choose and bring near to live in your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.
5
By awesome deeds you answer us with deliverance, O God of our salvation; you are the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.
6
By your strength you established the mountains; you are girded with might.
7
You silence the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples.
8
Those who live at earth's farthest bounds are awed by your signs; you make the gateways of the morning and the evening shout for joy.
9
You visit the earth and water it, you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide the people with grain, for so you have prepared it.
10
You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth.
