1 Praise awaits[b] you,
our God, in Zion;
to you our vows will be fulfilled.
2 You who answer prayer,
to you all people will come.
3 When we were overwhelmed by
sins,
you forgave[c] our
transgressions.
4 Blessed are those you choose
and bring near to live in your
courts!
We are filled with the good things of
your house,
of your holy temple.
5 You answer us
with awesome and righteous deeds,
God our Savior,
the hope of all the ends of the
earth
and of the farthest seas,
6 who formed the mountains by your
power,
having armed yourself with
strength,
7 who stilled the roaring of the
seas,
the roaring of their waves,
and the turmoil of the nations.
8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your
wonders;
where morning dawns, where evening
fades,
you call forth songs of joy.
9 You care for the
land and water it;
you enrich it abundantly.
The streams of God are filled with
water
to provide the people with grain,
for so you have ordained it.[d]
10 You drench its furrows and level its
ridges;
you soften it with showers and bless its
crops.
11 You crown the year with your
bounty,
and your carts overflow with
abundance.
12 The grasslands of the wilderness
overflow;
the hills are clothed with
gladness.
13 The meadows are covered with
flocks
and the valleys are mantled with
grain;
they shout for joy and sing.
