| 1 | [For the choir director; a psalm by David; a song.] You are praised with silence in Zion, O God, and vows [made] to you must be kept. | Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall vows be performed. | For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song. Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled. | |
| 2 | You are the one who hears prayers. Everyone will come to you. | O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come. | You who answer prayer, to you all people will come. | |
| 3 | Various sins overwhelm me. You are the one who forgives our rebellious acts. | When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions. | When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions. | |
| 4 | Blessed is the person you choose and invite to live with you in your courtyards. We will be filled with good food from your house, from your holy temple. | Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple! | Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple. | |
| 5 | You answer us with awe-inspiring acts [done] in righteousness, O God, our savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the most distant sea, | By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas; | You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds, God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas, | |
| 6 | the one who set the mountains in place with his strength, the one who is clothed with power, | the one who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with might; | who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength, | |
| 7 | the one who calms the roar of the seas, their crashing waves, and the uproar of the nations. | who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples, | who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations. | |
| 8 | Those who live at the ends of the earth are in awe of your miraculous signs. The lands of the morning sunrise and evening sunset sing joyfully. | so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs. You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy. | The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy. | |
| 9 | You take care of the earth, and you water it. You make it much richer than it was. (The river of God is filled with water.) You provide grain for them. Indeed, you even prepare the ground. | You visit the earth and water it; you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide their grain, for so you have prepared it. | You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it. | |
| 10 | You drench plowed fields [with rain] and level their clumps of soil. You soften them with showers and bless what grows in them. | You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth. | You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops. | |
| 11 | You crown the year with your goodness, and richness overflows wherever you are. | You crown the year with your bounty; your wagon tracks overflow with abundance. | You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. | |
| 12 | The pastures in the desert overflow [with richness]. The hills are surrounded with joy. | The pastures of the wilderness overflow, the hills gird themselves with joy, | The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. | |
| 13 | The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys are carpeted with grain. All of them shout triumphantly. Indeed, they sing. | the meadows clothe themselves with flocks, the valleys deck themselves with grain, they shout and sing together for joy. | The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing. | |
