God’s Abundant Favor to Earth and Man

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm. A Song of David.


[1]	PRAISE 1 waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion; And unto thee shall the vow be performed.
[2]	O thou that hearest prayer, Unto thee shall all flesh come.
[3]	Iniquities 2 prevail against me: As for our transgressions, thou wilt forgive 3 them.
[4]	Blessed 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, Thy holy temple.
[5]	By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of 4 them that are afar off upon the sea:
[6]	Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains, Being girded about with might;
[7]	Who stilleth the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.
[8]	They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
[9]	Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it, Thou greatly enrichest it; The river of God is full of water: Thou providest them grain, when 5 thou hast so prepared the 6 earth.
[10]	Thou waterest its furrows abundantly; Thou settlest 7 the ridges thereof: Thou makest it soft with showers; Thou blessest the springing thereof.
[11]	Thou crownest the 8 year with thy goodness; And thy paths drop fatness.
[12]	They 9 drop upon the pastures of the wilderness; And the hills are girded with joy.
[13]	The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered over with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing.
