King James Version KJV
1 For the leader. A psalm of David. A song: To you, God, in Tziyon, silence is praise; and vows to you are to be fulfilled.
1
Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 You who listen to prayer, to you all living creatures come.
2
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 When deeds of wickedness overwhelm me, you will atone for our crimes.
3
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
4 How blessed are those you choose and bring near, so that they can remain in your courtyards! We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the Holy Place of your temple.
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 It is just that you answer us with awesome deeds, God of our salvation, you in whom all put their trust, to the ends of the earth and on distant seas.
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 By your strength you set up the mountains. You are clothed with power.
6
Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 You still the roaring of the seas, their crashing waves, and the peoples' turmoil.
7
Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 This is why those living at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your signs. The places where the sun rises and sets you cause to sing for joy.
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 You care for the earth and water it, you enrich it greatly; with the river of God, full of water, you provide them grain and prepare the ground.
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 Soaking its furrows and settling its soil, you soften it with showers and bless its growth.
10
Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 You crown the year with your goodness, your tracks overflow with richness.
11
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 The desert pastures drip water, the hills are wrapped with joy,
12
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 the meadows are clothed with flocks and the valleys blanketed with grain, so they shout for joy and break into song.
13
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
