1   Praise ^note waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and to thee shall the vow be performed.

2   O thou that hearest prayer, to thee shall all flesh come.

3    ^noteIniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

4   Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach to 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   Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:

7   Who 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 ^note to rejoice.

9   Thou visitest the earth, and ^note 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 of it abundantly: ^note thou settlest the furrows of it: ^note thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing of it.

11   Thou crownest ^note the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.

12   They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills ^note 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.
