MSB PSA Chapter 65

Praise Awaits God in Zion

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song.

Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion;

to You our vows will be fulfilled.

2 

O You who listen to prayer,

all people will come to You.

3 

When iniquities prevail against me,

You atone for our transgressions.

4 

Blessed 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.

5 

With 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.

6 

You formed the mountains by Your power,

having girded Yourself with might.

7 

You stilled the roaring of the seas,

the pounding of their waves,

and the tumult of the nations.

8 

Those who live far away fear Your wonders;

You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.[fn]

9 

You attend to the earth and water it;[fn]

with abundance You enrich it.

The streams of God are full of water,

for You prepare our grain

by providing for [the earth].[fn]

10 

You soak its furrows and level its ridges;

You soften it with showers and bless its growth.

11 

You crown the year with Your bounty,

and Your paths overflow with plenty.

12 

The pastures of the wilderness overflow;

the hills are robed with joy.

13 

The pastures are clothed with flocks,

and the valleys are decked with grain.

They shout in triumph;

indeed, they sing.
