| 4Blessed 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, even of thy holy temple. | 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. |
| 5By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea: | 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. |
| 6Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power: | 6The One who established the mountains by his strength is clothed with omnipotence. |
| 7Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. | 7He calmed the roar of seas, the roaring of the waves, and the turmoil of the peoples. |
| 8They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. | 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. |
| 9Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. | 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. |
| 10Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. | 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. |
| 11Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. | 11You crown the year with your goodness; your footsteps drop prosperity behind them. |
| 12They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. | 12The wilderness pastures drip with dew, and the hills wrap themselves with joy. |
