1 For the end, a Psalm and Song of David.
2 Praise becomes thee, O God, in Sion ; and to thee shall the vow be performed.
3 Hear my prayer ; to thee all flesh shall come.
4 The words of transgressors have overpowered us ; but do thou pardon our sins.
5 Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and adopted ; he shall dwell in thy courts ; we shall be filled with the good things of thy house ; thy temple is holy.
6 Thou art wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us, O God our Saviour ; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are on the sea afar off :
7 who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about with power ; Notesn1 Gr. prepare.
8 who troublest the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
9 The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends of the earth shall be afraid of thy signs ; thou wilt cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.
10 Thou hast visited the earth, and saturated it ; thou hast abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water ; thou hast prepared their food, for thus is the preparation of it.
11 Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits ; the crop springing up shall rejoice in its drops.
12 Thou wilt bless the crown of the year because of thy goodness ; and thy plains shall be filled with fatness.
13 The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched ; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.
14 The rams of the flock are clothed with wool, and the valleys shall abound in corn ; they shall cry aloud, yea they shall sing hymns.
