Praise Awaits God in Zion

¹Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled. ²O You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You. ³When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions. ⁴Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.

⁵With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas. ⁶You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might. ⁷You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations. ⁸Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.

⁹You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for the earth. ¹⁰You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth. ¹¹You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty. ¹²The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed with joy. ¹³The pastures are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are decked with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.
