For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. A song.Praise is rightfully Yours,
God, in Zion;
vows to You will be fulfilled.

All humanity will come to You,
the One who hears prayer.

How happy is the one You choose
and bring near to live in Your courts!
We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
the holiness of Your temple.

You visit the earth and water it abundantly,
enriching it greatly.
God’s stream is filled with water,
for You prepare the earth in this way,
providing people with grain.

You answer us in righteousness,
with awe-inspiring works,
God of our salvation,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the distant seas.

You crown the year with Your goodness;
Your ways overflow with plenty.

Iniquities overwhelm me;
only You can atone for our rebellions.

You soften it with showers and bless its growth,
soaking its furrows and leveling its ridges.

You silence the roar of the seas,
the roar of their waves,
and the tumult of the nations.

You establish the mountains by Your power,
robed with strength.

Those who live far away are awed by Your signs;
You make east and west shout for joy.

The pastures are clothed with flocks
and the valleys covered with grain.
They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.

The wilderness pastures overflow,
and the hills are robed with joy.
