1 | To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence -- praise, O God, [is] in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed. |
2 | Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh. |
3 | Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions -- Thou dost cover them. |
4 | O the happiness of [him whom] Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple. |
5 | By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea. |
6 | Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might, |
7 | Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples. |
8 | And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing. |
9 | Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God [is] full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it, |
10 | Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest. |
11 | Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness. |
12 | Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on. |
13 | Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout -- yea, they sing! |
