[[To him that excelleth.] A Psalm Chapter or song of David.][1]O God, praise waiteth for thee in Zion, and unto thee shall the vow be performed.[2]Because thou hearest the prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.[3]Wicked deeds have prevailed against me: but thou wilt be merciful unto our transgressions.[4]Blessed is he, whom thou choosest and causest to come to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts, and we shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thine House, even of thine holy temple.[5]O God of our salvation, thou wilt answer us with fearful signs in thy righteousness, O thou the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are far off in the sea.[6]He establisheth the mountains by his power: and is girded about with strength.[7]He appeaseth the noise of the seas and the noise of the waves thereof, and the tumults of the people.[8]They also, that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth, shall be afraid of thy signs: thou shalt make the east and the west to rejoice.[9]Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou makest it very rich: the river of God is full of water: thou preparest them corn: for so thou appointest it.[10]Thou waterest abundantly the furrows thereof: thou causest the rain to descend into the valleys thereof: thou makest it soft with showers, and blessest the bud thereof.[11]Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy steps drop fatness.[12]They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the hills shall be compassed with gladness.[13]The pastures are clad with sheep: the valleys also shall be covered with corn: therefore they shout for joy, and sing.
