1 For the conclusion. A Psalm by David. An Ode. To thee, O God, a hymn in Sion is seemly: and to thee a vow should be paid.
2 Hearken to my prayer. To thee all flesh should come.
3 The acts of transgressors prevailed over us: but thou canst pardon our sins.
4 Happy he, whom thou hast chosen and taken to thyself! He shall dwell in thy courts. Let us be satisfied with the good things of thy house: thy temple is holy.
5 Thou art wonderful for righteousness: hear us O God, our Saviour. Thou art the hope of all the ends of the earth: and of them at sea far off.
6 Thou establishest the mountains by thy power: thou art begirt with majesty.
7 Thou causest the cavity of the sea to rage; the billows thereof to roar.
8 When nations are troubled and the inhabitants on its borders terrified at thy signs; thou canst make the outgoings of the morning and evening joyous.
9 Thou hast visited the earth and watered it: thou hast multiplied the means of enriching it. The river of God is full of water: thou hast provided the supply for it. Because such is thy provision, O! water its furrows plenteously: multiply its productions.
10 By these showers on it, it will be gladdened; and will give a spring to vegetation.
11 Bless the crown of the year with thy goodness: and let the fields be filled with fatness;
12 let the mountains of the wilderness be made fertile; and the hills be girt with joy.
13 The rams of the flocks have clothed themselves: and the valleys abound with corn. Let them shout and hymn thy praise.
