God

To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence--praise, O God, is in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.

Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.

Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions--Thou dost cover them.

O the happiness of him whom Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.

By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.

Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,

And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.

Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God is full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,

Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.

Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.

To the Overseer. --A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.

Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.

Say to God, `How fearful are Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.

Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.

He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.

Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.

Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,

For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.

Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.

I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

Unto Him with my mouth I have called, And exaltation is under my tongue.

Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.
