[1] Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion. Vows made to you are fulfilled. [2] You hear prayers; all people approach you. [3] Our record of sins overwhelms me, but you forgive our acts of rebellion. [4] How blessed is the one whom you choose, and allow to live in your palace courts. May we be satisfied with the good things of your house-your holy palace. [5] You answer our prayers by performing awesome acts of deliverance, O God, our savior. All the ends of the earth trust in you, as well as those living across the wide seas. [6] You created the mountains by your power, and demonstrated your strength. [7] You calmed the raging seas and their roaring waves, as well as the commotion made by the nations. [8] Even those living in the remotest areas are awestruck by your acts; you cause those living in the east and west to praise you. [9] You visit the earth and give it rain; you make it rich and fertile. God's streams are full of water; you provide grain for the people of the earth, for you have prepared the earth in this way. [10] You saturate its furrows, and soak its plowed ground. With rain showers you soften its soil, and make its crops grow. [11] You crown the year with your good blessings, and you leave abundance in your wake. [12] The pastures in the wilderness glisten with moisture, and the hills are clothed with joy. [13] The meadows are clothed with sheep, and the valleys are covered with grain. They shout joyfully, yes, they sing.
