| 1In Zion, God, praise silently awaits you, and vows will be paid to you. | 1For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song. Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled. |
| 2Since you hear prayer, everybody will come to you. | 2You who answer prayer, to you all people will come. |
| 3My acts of iniquity—they overwhelm me! Our transgressions—you blot them out! | 3When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions. |
| 4How blessed is the one you choose, the one you cause to live in your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, yes, even with the holiness of your Temple. | 4Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple. |
| 5With awesome deeds of justice you will answer us, God our Deliverer; you are the confidence for everyone at the ends of the earth, even for those far away overseas. | 5You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds, God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas, |
| 6The One who established the mountains by his strength is clothed with omnipotence. | 6who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength, |
| 7He calmed the roar of seas, the roaring of the waves, and the turmoil of the peoples. | 7who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations. |
| 8Those living at the furthest ends of the earth are seized by fear because of your miraculous deeds. You make the going forth of the morning and the evening shout for joy. | 8The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy. |
| 9You take care of the earth, you water it, and you enrich it greatly with the river of God that overflows with water. You provide grain for them, for you have ordained it this way. | 9You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it. |
| 10You fill the furrows of the field with water so that their ridges overflow. You soften them with rain showers; their sprouts you have blessed. | 10You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops. |
| 11You crown the year with your goodness; your footsteps drop prosperity behind them. | 11You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. |
| 12The wilderness pastures drip with dew, and the hills wrap themselves with joy. | 12The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. |
| 13The meadows are clothed with flocks of sheep, and the valleys are covered with grain. They shout for joy; yes, they burst out in song! | 13The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing. |
