To the chief Musician, A Psalm
and Song
of David
. Praise
waiteth
for thee, O God
, in Sion
: and unto thee shall the vow
be performed
.
O thou that hearest prayer
, unto thee shall all flesh
come
.
Iniquities prevail
against me: as for our transgressions
, thou shalt purge them away
.
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
.
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
:
Which by his strength setteth fast
the mountains
; being girded
with power
:
Which stilleth the noise
of the seas
, the noise
of their waves
, and the tumult
of the people
.
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts
are afraid
at thy tokens
: thou makest the outgoings
of the morning
and evening
to rejoice
.
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.
Thou waterest the ridges
thereof abundantly
: thou settlest
the furrows
thereof: thou makest it soft
with showers
: thou blessest
the springing
thereof.
Thou crownest the year
with thy goodness
; and thy paths
drop
fatness
.
They drop upon the pastures
of the wilderness
: and the little hills
rejoice
on every side
.
The pastures are clothed
with flocks
; the valleys
also are covered over
with corn
; they shout for joy
, they also sing
.
