| 1 ¶ To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David. Praise waiteth1 for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
|
|
| 2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
|
|
| 3 Iniquities2 prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
|
|
| 4 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.
|
|
| 5 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:
|
|
| 6 ¶ Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
|
|
| 7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
|
|
| 8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.3
|
|
| 9 Thou visitest the earth, and4 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.
|
|
| 10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest5 the furrows thereof: thou makest6 it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
|
|
| 11 Thou crownest the year with7 thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
|
|
| 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice8 on every side.
|
|
| 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
