[1] God, you will be praised in Jerusalem. We will keep our promises to you. [2] You hear our prayers. All people will come to you. [3] Our guilt overwhelms us. But you forgive our sins. [4] Happy are the people you choose. You have them stay in your courtyards. We are filled with good things in your house, your holy Temple. [5] You answer us in amazing ways, God our Savior. People everywhere on the earth and beyond the sea trust you. [6] You made the mountains by your strength. You have great power. [7] You stopped the roaring seas, the roaring waves and the uproar of the nations. [8] Even those people at the ends of the earth fear your miracles. You are praised from where the sun rises to where it sets. [9] You take care of the land and water it. You make it very fertile. The rivers of God are full of water. Grain grows because you make it grow. [10] You cause rain to fall on the plowed fields. You soak them with water. You soften the ground with rain. And then you bless it. [11] You give the year a good harvest. You load the wagons with many crops. [12] The desert is covered with grass. The hills are covered with happiness. [13] The pastures are full of sheep. The valleys are covered with grain. Everything shouts and sings for joy.
