Holman Christian Standard Bible | International Standard Version |
1For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. A song. Praise is rightfully Yours, God, in Zion; vows to You will be fulfilled. | 1In Zion, God, praise silently awaits you, and vows will be paid to you. |
2All humanity will come to You, the One who hears prayer. | 2Since you hear prayer, everybody will come to you. |
3Iniquities overwhelm me; only You can atone for our rebellions. | 3My acts of iniquity—they overwhelm me! Our transgressions—you blot them out! |
4How happy is the one You choose and bring near to live in Your courts! We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple. | 4How blessed is the one you choose, the one you cause to live in your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, yes, even with the holiness of your Temple. |
5You answer us in righteousness, with awe-inspiring works, God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the distant seas. | 5With awesome deeds of justice you will answer us, God our Deliverer; you are the confidence for everyone at the ends of the earth, even for those far away overseas. |
6You establish the mountains by Your power, robed with strength. | 6The One who established the mountains by his strength is clothed with omnipotence. |
7You silence the roar of the seas, the roar of their waves, and the tumult of the nations. | 7He calmed the roar of seas, the roaring of the waves, and the turmoil of the peoples. |
8Those who live far away are awed by Your signs; You make east and west shout for joy. | 8Those living at the furthest ends of the earth are seized by fear because of your miraculous deeds. You make the going forth of the morning and the evening shout for joy. |
9You visit the earth and water it abundantly, enriching it greatly. God's stream is filled with water, for You prepare the earth in this way, providing people with grain. | 9You take care of the earth, you water it, and you enrich it greatly with the river of God that overflows with water. You provide grain for them, for you have ordained it this way. |
10You soften it with showers and bless its growth, soaking its furrows and leveling its ridges. | 10You fill the furrows of the field with water so that their ridges overflow. You soften them with rain showers; their sprouts you have blessed. |
11You crown the year with Your goodness; Your ways overflow with plenty. | 11You crown the year with your goodness; your footsteps drop prosperity behind them. |
12The wilderness pastures overflow, and the hills are robed with joy. | 12The wilderness pastures drip with dew, and the hills wrap themselves with joy. |
13The pastures are clothed with flocks and the valleys covered with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing. | 13The meadows are clothed with flocks of sheep, and the valleys are covered with grain. They shout for joy; yes, they burst out in song! |
