1 A ll will be quiet before You, and praise belongs to You, O God, in Zion. And our promise to You will be kept.

There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion, O God, And to You the vow will be performed.

2 O You Who hears prayer, to You all men come.

O You who hear prayer, To You all men come.

3 M y sins are strong against me. But You forgive our sins.

Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You forgive them.

4 H appy is the man You choose and bring near to You to live in Your holy place. We will be filled with the good things of Your house, Your holy house.

How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You To dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.

5 O God Who saves us, You answer us in the way that is right and good by Your great works that make people stand in fear. You are the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

6 Y ou have built the mountains by Your strength. You are dressed with power.

Who establishes the mountains by His strength, Being girded with might;

7 Y ou quiet the storm of the seas, the sound of their waves, and the noise of the people.

Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.

8 T hose who live far away are afraid of Your great works. You make morning and evening call out for joy.

They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.

9 Y ou visit the earth and water it. You make it very rich. The river of God is full of water. You give the people grain when You have made the earth ready.

You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth.

10 Y ou water where the plow has been used. You cover the seeds with earth. You make it soft with rain. And You make the plants grow well.

You water its furrows abundantly, You settle its ridges, You soften it with showers, You bless its growth.

11 Y ou crown the year with Your good gifts. There is more than enough where You have been.

You have crowned the year with Your bounty, And Your paths drip with fatness.

12 T he fields of the desert are filled with water. And the hills dress themselves with joy.

The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills gird themselves with rejoicing.

13 T he grass lands are covered with birds. And the valleys are covered with grain. They call out for joy and sing.

The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy, yes, they sing.
