Only Version ❧ CM · 8·6·8·6
To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.
1 O God, in Sion silently praise waiteth upon thee: and thankfully unto thee shall the vow performed be. 2 O thou that hearken dost unto the pray’r that men do make, ev’n unto thee therefore all flesh themselves they shall betake.
3 Works of iniquity they have prevailed against me; as for our trespasses they shall be purg’d away by thee. 4 O blessed is the man of whom thou thy free choice dost make; and that he may dwell in thy courts him near to thee dost take:
for with the good things of thy house be satisfy’d shall we; and with the holy things likewise that in thy temple be. 5 In righteousness, thou, by the things that dreadfully are done, wilt answer give to us, O God, of our salvation:
upon whom all the ends of th’ earth do confidently stay, and likewise they that are remov’d far off upon the sea. 6 He sets fast mountains by his strength 7 girt with might. He doth swage the noise of seas, noise of their waves also the people’s rage.
8 They at thy tokens are afraid that dwell in parts far out; out goings of the morning thou and ev’ning mak’st to shout. 9 Thou visitest the earth, and dost it moisten plenteously, thou with God’s stream, full of water enrichest it greatly:
when thou hast so prepared it, thou dost them corn prepare. 10 The ridges thou abundantly wat’rest that in it are; the furrows of it thou settl’st, with showers that do fall thou mak’st it soft, thou dost thereof the springing bless withal.
11 Thou dost the year with thy goodness adorn as with a crown, also the paths where thou dost tread, fatness they do drop down. 12 They drop upon the pastures that are in the wilderness; and girded are the little hills about with joyfulness.
13 Clothed the pastures are with flocks, corn over covering the valleys is; so that for joy they shout, they also sing.
