For the Musical Director.
A Psalm of David.
A song.
1To you silence is praise, O God, in Zion. Yes, to you a vow will be performed.
2O you who hear prayer, to you all flesh will come.
3Sinful matters have overwhelmed me, as for our transgressions, you have covered them.
4Blessed is one whom you choose and bring near, that he may dwell in your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.
5In awesome deeds of righteousness you answer us, O God of our salvation; you are the confidence of all the ends of the earth of those who are far away on the farthest sea;
6who by his power prepared the mountains, having strength wrapped around your waist,
7who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, yes, the turmoil of the peoples.
8So those that dwell at the ends of the earth fear your signs. You make the comings of the morning and evening shout for joy.
9You visit the earth and cause it to overflow. You greatly enrich it. The canal of God is full of water. You prepared grain, for so you have prepared the earth.
10You drench the land’s furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with abundant showers. You bless its growth.
11You have crowned the year with your bounty. Yes, your paths drip with fatness.
12The grazing places in the wilderness drip with fatness. The hills wrap themselves with joy.
13The pastures are clothed with flocks. And the valleys are covered with grain. They shout for joy! Yes, they sing.
