New Century Version NCV
English Standard Version ESV
1 God, you will be praised in Jerusalem. We will keep our promises to you.
1
Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall vows be performed.
2 You hear our prayers. All people will come to you.
2
O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come.
3 Our guilt overwhelms us, but you forgive our sins.
3
When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions.
4 Happy are the people you choose and invite to stay in your court. We are filled with good things in your house, your holy Temple.
4
Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple!
5 You answer us in amazing ways, God our Savior. People everywhere on the earth and beyond the sea trust you.
5
By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas;
6 You made the mountains by your strength; you are dressed in power.
6
the one who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with might;
7 You stopped the roaring seas, the roaring waves, and the uproar of the nations.
7
who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples,
8 Even those people at the ends of the earth fear your miracles. You are praised from where the sun rises to where it sets.
8
so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs. You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.
9 You take care of the land and water it; you make it very fertile. The rivers of God are full of water. Grain grows because you make it grow.
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 send rain to the plowed fields; you fill the rows with water. You soften the ground with rain, and then you bless it with crops.
10
You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth.
11 You give the year a good harvest, and you load the wagons with many crops.
11
You crown the year with your bounty; your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.
12 The desert is covered with grass and the hills with happiness.
12
The pastures of the wilderness overflow, the hills gird themselves with joy,
13 The pastures are full of flocks, and the valleys are covered with grain. Everything shouts and sings for joy.
13
the meadows clothe themselves with flocks, the valleys deck themselves with grain, they shout and sing together for joy.
