GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New King James Version NKJV
1 You are praised with silence in Zion, O God, and vows [made] to you must be kept.
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 are the one who hears prayers. Everyone will come to you.
2
O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh will come.
3 Various sins overwhelm me. You are the one who forgives our rebellious acts.
3
Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You will provide atonement for them.
4 Blessed is the person you choose and invite to live with you in your courtyards. We will be filled with good food from your house, from your holy 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 You answer us with awe-inspiring acts [done] in righteousness, O God, our savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the most distant sea,
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 the one who set the mountains in place with his strength, the one who is clothed with power,
6
Who established the mountains by His strength, Being clothed with power;
7 the one who calms the roar of the seas, their crashing waves, and the uproar of the nations.
7
You who still the noise of the seas, The noise of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.
8 Those who live at the ends of the earth are in awe of your miraculous signs. The lands of the morning sunrise and evening sunset sing joyfully.
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 take care of the earth, and you water it. You make it much richer than it was. (The river of God is filled with water.) You provide grain for them. Indeed, you even 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 You drench plowed fields [with rain] and level their clumps of soil. You soften them with showers and bless what grows in them.
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, and richness overflows wherever you are.
11
You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.
12 The pastures in the desert overflow [with richness]. The hills are surrounded with joy.
12
They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys are carpeted with grain. All of them shout triumphantly. Indeed, they sing.
13
The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing.
