God

Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled.

O You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You.

When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.

Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.

With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.

Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.

You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for the earth.

You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.

You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty.

Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!

Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.

Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.

All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.” Selah

Come and see the works of God; how awesome are His deeds toward mankind.

He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the waters on foot; there we rejoiced in Him.

He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard.

For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver.

You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.

You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance.

I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—

Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me.

I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
