1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” To thee belongeth trust, to thee praise, O God in Zion! And to thee shall the vow be performed! 2 O Thou that hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come! 3 My iniquities are heavy upon me; But thou wilt forgive our transgressions! 4 Happy is he whom thou choosest, And bringest near thee to dwell in thy courts! May we be satisfied with the blessings of thy house, Thy holy temple! 5 By wonderful deeds dost thou answer us in thy goodness, O God, our salvation! Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the most distant seas! 6 Thou makest fast the mountains by thy power, Being girded with strength! 7 Thou stillest the roar of the sea, The roar of its waves, And the tumult of the nations. 8 They who dwell in the ends of the earth are awed by thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to rejoice! 9 Thou visitest the earth and waterest it; Thou enrichest it exceedingly; The river of God is full of water. Thou suppliest the earth with corn, When thou hast thus prepared it. 10 Thou waterest its furrows, And breakest down its ridges; Thou makest it soft with showers, And blessest its increase. 11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; Thy footsteps drop fruitfulness; 12 They drop it upon the pastures of the wilderness, And the hills are girded with gladness. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks, And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout, yea, they sing for joy.
