1 Silence is praise to You, O God, in Zion; and unto You is a vow performed.

2 To You who hears prayer, all flesh comes.

3 Perverse speech has prevailed against me; as for our transgressions, You shall atone for them.

4 Blessed is the one whom You choose, and cause to draw near You. He shall dwell in Your courts; we shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, of Your holy temple.

5 By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us, O God of our salvation; You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth and the sea, of those far away.

6 The mountains are established by Your strength, girded with might,

7 who stills the noise of the sea, the roar of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.

8 And those who dwell in the remotest regions are afraid of Your signs; You make the goings forth of the morning and evening rejoice.

9 You visit the earth and water it; You greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, for in this way You have prepared it.

10 You water its furrows with water; You deepen its ridges; You make it soft with showers; You bless the sprouting of it.

11 You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your trenches drip with fertility.

12 They trickle on the pastures of the wilderness; and the little hills are girded with rejoicing.

13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with grain; they shout for joy and sing.
