• God’s Abundant Favor to Earth and Mankind.

  • 1 There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion, God, And the vow will be fulfilled for You.
  • 2 You who hear prayer, To You all mankind comes.
  • 3 Wrongdoings prevail against me; As for our offenses, You forgive them.
  • 4 Blessed is the one You choose and allow to approach You; He will dwell in Your courtyards. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.
  • 5 By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and the farthest sea;
  • 6 Who establishes the mountains by His strength, Who is encircled with might;
  • 7 Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the turmoil of the nations.
  • 8 They who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the sunrise and the sunset shout for joy.
  • 9 You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, for so You prepare the earth.
  • 10 You water its furrows abundantly, You settle its ridges, You soften it with showers, You bless its growth.
  • 11 You have crowned the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with fatness.
  • 12 The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills encircle themselves with rejoicing.
  • 13 The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy, yes, they sing.
