To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.

Praise for God who hears prayer in Zion

לְךָ דֻֽמִיָּה תְהִלָּה אֱלֹהִים בְּצִיּוֹן וּלְךָ יְשֻׁלַּם-נֶֽדֶר׃
1
Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
שֹׁמֵעַ תְּפִלָּה עָדֶיךָ כָּל-בָּשָׂר יָבֹֽאוּ׃
2
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
דִּבְרֵי עֲוֹנֹת גָּבְרוּ מֶנִּי פְּשָׁעֵינוּ אַתָּה תְכַפְּרֵֽם׃
3
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
אַשְׁרֵי׀ תִּֽבְחַר וּתְקָרֵב יִשְׁכֹּן חֲצֵרֶיךָ נִשְׂבְּעָה בְּטוּב בֵּיתֶךָ קְדֹשׁ הֵיכָלֶֽךָ׃
4
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
נוֹרָאוֹת׀ בְּצֶדֶק תַּעֲנֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ מִבְטָח כָּל-קַצְוֵי-אֶרֶץ וְיָם רְחֹקִֽים׃
5
By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

God's power over sea and earth and the bounty of the harvest

מֵכִין הָרִים בְּכֹחוֹ נֶאְזָר בִּגְבוּרָֽה׃
6
Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
מַשְׁבִּיחַ׀ שְׁאוֹן יַמִּים שְׁאוֹן גַּלֵּיהֶם וַהֲמוֹן לְאֻמִּֽים׃
7
Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
וַיִּירְאוּ׀ יֹשְׁבֵי קְצָוֹת מֵאוֹתֹתֶיךָ מוֹצָֽאֵי בֹקֶר וָעֶרֶב תַּרְנִֽין׃
8
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
פָּקַדְתָּ הָאָרֶץ וַתְּשֹׁקְקֶהָ רַבַּת תַּעְשְׁרֶנָּה פֶּלֶג אֱלֹהִים מָלֵא מָיִם תָּכִין דְּגָנָם כִּי-כֵן תְּכִינֶֽהָ׃
9
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
תְּלָמֶיהָ רַוֵּה נַחֵת גְּדוּדֶהָ בִּרְבִיבִים תְּמֹגְגֶנָּה צִמְחָהּ תְּבָרֵֽךְ׃
10
Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
עִטַּרְתָּ שְׁנַת טוֹבָתֶךָ וּמַעְגָּלֶיךָ יִרְעֲפוּן דָּֽשֶׁן׃
11
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
יִרְעֲפוּ נְאוֹת מִדְבָּר וְגִיל גְּבָעוֹת תַּחְגֹּֽרְנָה׃
12
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
לָבְשׁוּ כָרִים׀ הַצֹּאן וַעֲמָקִים יַֽעַטְפוּ-בָר יִתְרוֹעֲעוּ אַף-יָשִֽׁירוּ׃
13
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
