1Praise is due to you,

O God, in Zion,

and to you shall vows be performed,*

2O you who answer prayer!

To you all flesh shall come.*

3When deeds of iniquity overwhelm us,

you forgive our transgressions.*

4Happy 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.*

5By 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.*

6By youra strength you established the mountains;

you are girded with might.*

7You silence the roaring of the seas,

the roaring of their waves,

the tumult of the peoples.*

8Those 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.

9You 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.*

10You water its furrows abundantly,

settling its ridges,

softening it with showers,

and blessing its growth.

11You crown the year with your bounty;

your wagon tracks overflow with richness.

12The pastures of the wilderness overflow;

the hills gird themselves with joy;*

13the meadows clothe themselves with flocks;

the valleys deck themselves with grain;

they shout and sing together for joy.*
