O God of Our Salvation

65 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song.

1  Praise eis due to you,1 O God, in Zion,

and to you shall fvows be performed.

2  O you who ghear prayer,

to you hshall all flesh come.

3  When iiniquities prevail against me,

you jatone for our transgressions.

4  kBlessed is the one you choose and bring near,

to ldwell in your courts!

We shall be msatisfied with the goodness of your house,

the holiness of your temple!

5  By nawesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,

O God of our salvation,

the hope of all othe ends of the earth

and of the farthest seas;

6  the one who by his strength established the mountains,

being pgirded with might;

7  who qstills the roaring of the seas,

the roaring of their waves,

rthe tumult of the peoples,

8  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.

9  You visit the earth and swater it;2

you greatly enrich it;

tthe river of God is full of water;

uyou provide their grain,

for so you have prepared it.

10  You water its furrows abundantly,

settling its ridges,

softening it with vshowers,

and blessing its growth.

11  You crown the year with your bounty;

your wagon tracks woverflow with abundance.

12  xThe pastures of the wilderness overflow,

the hills ygird themselves with joy,

13  zthe meadows clothe themselves with flocks,

the valleys deck themselves with grain,

they ashout and sing together for joy.
