651 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion; And to You the vow shall be performed. 2 O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh will come. 3 Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You will provide atonement for them. 4 Blessed is the man You choose, And cause to approach You, That he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Of Your holy temple. 5 By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us, O God of our salvation, You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the far-off seas;
6 Who established the mountains by His strength, Being clothed with power; 7 You who still the noise of the seas, The noise of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples. 8 They also who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs; You make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice. 9 You visit the earth and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, For so You have prepared it. 10 You water its ridges abundantly, You settle its furrows; You make it soft with showers, You bless its growth. 11 You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing.
651 There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion , O God , And to You the vow will be performed . 2 O You who hear prayer , To You all men come . 3 Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions , You forgive them. 4 How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You To dwell in Your courts . We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house , Your holy temple . 5 By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness , O God of our salvation , You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea ;
6 Who establishes the mountains by His strength , Being girded with might ; 7 Who stills the roaring of the seas , The roaring of their waves , And the tumult of the peoples . 8 They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs ; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy . 9 You visit the earth and cause it to overflow ; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water ; You prepare their grain , for thus You prepare the earth. 10 You water its furrows abundantly , You settle its ridges , You soften it with showers , You bless its growth . 11 You have crowned the year with Your bounty , And Your paths drip with fatness . 12 The pastures of the wilderness drip , And the hills gird themselves with rejoicing . 13 The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain ; They shout for joy , yes , they sing .
651 What mighty praise, OÂ God, belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2 for you answer our prayers. All of us must come to you. 3 Though we are overwhelmed by our sins, you forgive them all. 4 What joy for those you choose to bring near, those who live in your holy courts. What festivities await us inside your holy Temple. 5 You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, OÂ God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas.
6 You formed the mountains by your power and armed yourself with mighty strength. 7 You quieted the raging oceans with their pounding waves and silenced the shouting of the nations. 8 Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy. 9 You take care of the earth and water it, making it rich and fertile. The river of God has plenty of water; it provides a bountiful harvest of grain, for you have ordered it so. 10 You drench the plowed ground with rain, melting the clods and leveling the ridges. You soften the earth with showers and bless its abundant crops. 11 You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance. 12 The grasslands of the wilderness become a lush pasture, and the hillsides blossom with joy. 13 The meadows are clothed with flocks of sheep, and the valleys are carpeted with grain. They all shout and sing for joy!
