Praise Awaits God in Zion

1Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile. O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.

2Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.

3Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.

4Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:

5wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.

6You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.

7You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,

8and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.

9You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.

10Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.

11You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.

12The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.

13The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.
