The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1To You, stillness, praise, in Tsiyon, O Elohim; And to You a vow is paid. 2To You who hears all prayer, all flesh comes. 3Crooked matters were mightier than I; As for our transgressions, You do cover them. 4Blessed is the one You choose, And bring near to dwell in Your courts. We are satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your set-apart Hĕḵal. 5By awesome deeds in righteousness You answer us, O Elohim of our deliverance, The Trust of all the ends of the earth, And the distant seas; 6Who established the mountains by His strength, Being girded with might; 7Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the uproar of the peoples. 8And they who dwell in the farthest parts, Are afraid of Your signs; You make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice. 9You have visited the earth and watered it, You greatly enrich it; The river of Elohim is filled with water; You provide their grain, For so You have prepared it. 10Its ridges have been filled, Its furrows have been deepened, You make it soft with showers, You bless its growth. 11You have crowned the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with fatness. 12The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills are girded with rejoicing. 13The meadows are dressed in flocks, And valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy and sing. |
