 Praise awaits 1  you, our God, in Zion; 
 to you our vows will be fulfilled. 
  
  
  
  2
  
  
  
    You who answer prayer, 
 to you all people will come. 
  
  
  
  3
  
  
  
    When we were overwhelmed by sins, 
 you forgave 2  our transgressions. 
  
  
  
  4
  
  
  
    Blessed are those you choose 
 and bring near to live in your courts! 
 We are filled with the good things of your house, 
 of your holy temple. 
  
    
  
  5
  
  
  
    You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds, 
 God our Savior, 
 the hope of all the ends of the earth 
 and of the farthest seas, 
  
  
  
  6
  
  
  
    who formed the mountains by your power, 
 having armed yourself with strength, 
  
  
  
  7
  
  
  
    who stilled the roaring of the seas, 
 the roaring of their waves, 
 and the turmoil of the nations. 
  
  
  
  8
  
  
  
    The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; 
 where morning dawns, where evening fades, 
 you call forth songs of joy. 
  
    
  
  9
  
  
  
    You care for the land and water it; 
 you enrich it abundantly. 
 The streams of God are filled with water 
 to provide the people with grain, 
 for so you have ordained it. 3  
  
  
  
  10
  
  
  
    You drench its furrows and level its ridges; 
 you soften it with showers and bless its crops. 
  
  
  
  11
  
  
  
    You crown the year with your bounty, 
 and your carts overflow with abundance. 
  
  
  
  12
  
  
  
    The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; 
 the hills are clothed with gladness. 
  
  
  
  13
  
  
  
    The meadows are covered with flocks 
 and the valleys are mantled with grain; 
 they shout for joy and sing.
