To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.

¹ Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion:
And unto thee shall the vow be performed.
² O thou that hearest prayer,
Unto thee shall all flesh come.
³ Iniquities 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.
⁹ Thou visitest the earth, and 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 settlest the furrows thereof:
Thou makest it soft with showers: Thou blessest the springing thereof.
¹¹ Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;
And thy paths drop fatness.
¹² They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness:
And the little hills rejoice 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.
