A Psalm and Song of David.

1Praise awaits You, our God, in Zion; and all our vows unto You shall be fulfilled. 2All mankind shall come unto You Who hears prayer. 3Though our sins and transgressions prevail against us, You shall purge them and forgive us. 4Blessed are those whom You choose and draw near to You, to dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your Temple.

5 You will answer us, O God of our salvation, by awesome and righteous deeds; You are the hope and confidence of everyone on the earth, and those on the farthest sea. 6You, having armed Yourself with strength, establish the mountains - 7You, Who stills the noise of the waves of the seas, as well as the tumult of the people. 8Those that dwell in the uttermost parts are in awe of Your wonders; You also cause the dawn and sunset rejoice.

9You care for and water the earth; You enrich it with Your streams, which abound with water; You enable the grain crops by Your care of the land. 10You water its furrows abundantly; You settle its ridges; You soften it with showers; You bless its new growth. 11You crown the year with Your bounty; and Your cart paths overflow with plenty. 12The grasslands of the wilderness become lush pastures; and the little hills joyfully bloom on every side. 13The meadows are covered with flocks; the valleys also are carpeted with grain; they shout and sing for joy.
