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
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion; And to You the vow shall be performed.
2 You who listen to prayer, to you all living creatures come.
2
O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh will come.
3 When deeds of wickedness overwhelm me, you will atone for our crimes.
3
Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You will provide atonement for them.
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 You choose, And cause to approach You, That he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Of Your 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 awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us, O God of our salvation, You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the far-off seas;
6 By your strength you set up the mountains. You are clothed with power.
6
Who established the mountains by His strength, Being clothed with power;
7 You still the roaring of the seas, their crashing waves, and the peoples' turmoil.
7
You who still the noise of the seas, The noise of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.
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 who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs; You make the outgoings of the morning and evening 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
You visit the earth and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, For so You have prepared it.
10 Soaking its furrows and settling its soil, you soften it with showers and bless its growth.
10
You water its ridges abundantly, You settle its furrows; You make it soft with showers, You bless its growth.
11 You crown the year with your goodness, your tracks overflow with richness.
11
You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.
12 The desert pastures drip water, the hills are wrapped with joy,
12
They drop on 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 with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing.
