Os abundantes favores de Deus à terra e ao homem

Ao cantor-mor. Salmo e canção de Davi

1 A ti, ó Deus, é devido em Sião um hino de louvor,

e a ti se pagará *Sl 116.18o voto.

2 Ó tu que ouves a oração,

a ti virá *Sl 86.9;145.21;Is 66.23toda a carne.

3 *Sl 38.4;40.12Iniquidades prevalecem contra mim;

mas as nossas transgressões, *Sl 79.9tu as expiarás.

4 *Sl 33.12;84.4Feliz é aquele a quem escolhes e achegas,

para que habite em teus átrios.

*Sl 36.8Seremos satisfeitos com a bondade da tua casa, do santo lugar do teu templo.

5 *Sl 45.4;66.3Com coisas terríveis, nos responderás em justiça,

*Sl 85.4Ó Deus da nossa salvação,

tu que és a firme esperança de todos os *Sl 22.27;48.10confins da terra

*Sl 107.23e do mais remoto mar;

6 que, por tua força, *Sl 95.4firmas os montes,

*Sl 93.1cingido de poder;

7 *Sl 89.9;93.3-4;107.29;Mt 8.26que aquietas o ruído dos mares, o ruído das suas ondas

*Sl 2.1;74.23;Is 17.12-13e o tumulto dos povos.

8 Também os que habitam *Sl 2.8;139.9;Is 24.16os mais remotos confins são tomados de medo à vista dos teus sinais;

fazes exultar de júbilo o Oriente e o Ocidente.

9 Visitas a terra e *Sl 68.9;104.13;147.8;Lv 26.4;Jó 5.10a regas,

grandemente a *Sl 104.24enriqueces.

As levadas de Deus *Sl 46.4correm cheias de água;

preparas-lhes o *Sl 104.14;147.14trigo, pois assim preparas a terra,

10 regando-lhe os sulcos,

aplanando-lhe as leivas.

Tu a amoleces com *Sl 72.6;147.8;Dt 32.2chuviscos,

abençoas as suas novidades.

11 Coroas o ano da tua *Sl 104.28bondade;

e as tuas veredas *Sl 147.14;Jó 36.28destilam gordura,

12 destilam sobre as *Jó 38.26-27;Jl 2.22pastagens do deserto,

e de júbilo *Sl 98.8;Is 55.12se cingem os outeiros.

13 As pastagens *Sl 144.13;Is 30.23revestem-se de rebanhos,

e os vales *Sl 72.16cobrem-se de trigo.

*Sl 98.8;Is 44.23Eles exultam de alegria, sim, eles cantam.

2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.*65.3 Iniquities: Heb. Words, or, Matters of iniquities

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, even of thy holy temple.

5 By 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:

6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:

7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

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.*65.8 rejoice: or, sing

9 Thou 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.*65.9 and…: or, after thou hadst made it to desire rain

10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.*65.10 settlest: or, causest rain to descend into*65.10 makest…: Heb. dissolvest it
