TO THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, A PSALM AND SONG OF DAVID.

1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion:

and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

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

3 Iniquities prevail against me:

as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto 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 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;

being girded with power:

7 Which 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 to rejoice.

9 Thou visitest the earth, and 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 thereof abundantly:

thou settlest the furrows thereof:

thou makest it soft with showers:

thou blessest the springing thereof.

11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;

and thy paths drop fatness.

12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness:

and the little hills 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.
