1To the leader; a Psalm of David; a Song.
2To you silence is praise, God, in Zion; and to you the vow will be fulfilled.
3O hearer of prayer, to you all flesh (basar) will come.
4Matters of iniquities have prevailed over me; our transgressions — you will atone for them.
5Blessed is the one whom you choose and bring near, that he may dwell in your courts; we will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple.
6With awesome deeds in righteousness you answer us, God of our salvation, the confidence of all the ends of the earth and of the distant seas;
7who establishes the mountains by his strength, girded with might;
8who stills the roar of the seas, the roar of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
9And the inhabitants of the ends are in awe of your signs (ot); the outgoings of morning and evening you make to shout for joy.
10You visit the land and water it, greatly you enrich it; the channel of God is full of water; you prepare their grain, for so you prepare it.
11Its furrows you drench, settling its ridges; with showers you soften it; its growth you bless.
12You crown the year with your goodness, and your tracks drip with fatness.
13The pastures of the wilderness drip, and the hills are girded with rejoicing.
14The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered with grain; they shout for joy, yes, they sing.
