1 T o the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence -- praise, O God, in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.

2 H earer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.

3 M atters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions -- Thou dost cover them.

4 O the happiness of Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.

5 B y fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.

6 E stablishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,

7 R estraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.

8 A nd the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.

9 T hou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,

10 I ts ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.

11 T hou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.

12 D rop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.

13 C lothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout -- yea, they sing!
