| 2O You who hear prayer, To You all men come. | 2Since you hear prayer, everybody will come to you. |
| 3Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You forgive them. | 3My acts of iniquity—they overwhelm me! Our transgressions—you blot them out! |
| 4How 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. | 4How blessed is the one you choose, the one you cause to live in your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, yes, even with the holiness of your Temple. |
| 5By 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; | 5With awesome deeds of justice you will answer us, God our Deliverer; you are the confidence for everyone at the ends of the earth, even for those far away overseas. |
| 6Who establishes the mountains by His strength, Being girded with might; | 6The One who established the mountains by his strength is clothed with omnipotence. |
| 7Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples. | 7He calmed the roar of seas, the roaring of the waves, and the turmoil of the peoples. |
| 8They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. | 8Those living at the furthest ends of the earth are seized by fear because of your miraculous deeds. You make the going forth of the morning and the evening shout for joy. |
| 9You 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. | 9You take care of the earth, you water it, and you enrich it greatly with the river of God that overflows with water. You provide grain for them, for you have ordained it this way. |

| 12The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills gird themselves with rejoicing. | 12The wilderness pastures drip with dew, and the hills wrap themselves with joy. |
| 13The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy, yes, they sing. | 13The meadows are clothed with flocks of sheep, and the valleys are covered with grain. They shout for joy; yes, they burst out in song! |
