1Praise waiteth for thee, O God , in Sion : and unto thee shall the vow be performed . 2O thou that hearest prayer , unto thee shall all flesh come . 3Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions , thou shalt purge them away . 4Blessed 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 .
God's Power in Nature
5By 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 : 6Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains ; being girded with power : 7Which stilleth the noise of the seas , the noise of their waves , and the tumult of the people . 8They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens : thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice .
God's Abundant Blessings
9Thou 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. 10Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly : thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers : thou blessest the springing thereof. 11Thou crownest the year with thy goodness ; and thy paths drop fatness . 12They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness : and the little hills rejoice on every side . 13The pastures are clothed with flocks ; the valleys also are covered over with corn ; they shout for joy , they also sing .
