1 To You belongs silence [the submissive wonder of reverence], and [it bursts into] praise in Zion, O God;

And to You the vow shall be performed.

2 O You who hear prayer,

To You all mankind comes.

3 Wickedness and guilt prevail against me;

Yet as for our transgressions,

You forgive them [removing them from Your sight].

4 Blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near

To dwell in Your courts.

We will be filled with the goodness of Your house,

Your holy temple.

5 By awesome and wondrous things You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation,

You who are the trust and hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

6 Who creates the mountains by His strength,

Being clothed with power,

7 Who stills the roaring of the seas,

The roaring of their waves,

And the tumult of the peoples,

8 So they who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs [the evidence of Your presence]. [Mark 4:36-41]

You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.

9 You visit the earth and make it overflow [with water];

You greatly enrich it;

The stream of God is full of water;

You provide their grain, when You have prepared the earth.

10 You water its furrows abundantly,

You smooth its ridges;

You soften it with showers,

You bless its growth.

11 You crown the year with Your bounty,

And Your paths overflow.

12 The pastures of the wilderness drip [with dew],

And the hills are encircled with joy.

13 The meadows are clothed with flocks

And the valleys are covered with grain;

They shout for joy and they sing.
