¹You are to be praised, O God, in Zion; *to you shall vows be performed in Jerusalem.

²To you that hear prayer shall all flesh come, *because of their transgressions.

³Our sins are stronger than we are, *but you will blot them out.

⁴Happy are they whom you choose and draw to your courts to dwell there! *they will be satisfied by the beauty of your house, by the holiness of your temple.

⁵Awesome things will you show us in your righteousness, O God of our salvation, *O Hope of all the ends of the earth and of the seas that are far away.

⁶You make fast the mountains by your power; *they are girded about with might.

⁷You still the roaring of the seas, *the roaring of their waves, and the clamor of the peoples.

⁸Those who dwell at the ends of the earth will tremble at your marvelous signs; *you make the dawn and the dusk to sing for joy.

⁹You visit the earth and water it abundantly; you make it very plenteous; *the river of God is full of water.

¹⁰You prepare the grain, *for so you provide for the earth.

¹¹You drench the furrows and smooth out the ridges; *with heavy rain you soften the ground and bless its increase.

¹²You crown the year with your goodness, *and your paths overflow with plenty.

¹³May the fields of the wilderness be rich for grazing, *and the hills be clothed with joy.

¹⁴May the meadows cover themselves with flocks, and the valleys cloak themselves with grain; *let them shout for joy and sing.

¹May God be merciful to us and bless us, *show us the light of his countenance and come to us.

²Let your ways be known upon earth, *your saving health among all nations.

³Let the peoples praise you, O God; *let all the peoples praise you.

⁴Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, *for you judge the peoples with equity and guide all the nations upon earth.

⁷May God give us his blessing, *and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him.

⁷Show us your mercy, O Lord, *and grant us your salvation.

⁸I will listen to what the Lord God is saying, *for he is speaking peace to his faithful people and to those who turn their hearts to him.

⁹Truly, his salvation is very near to those who fear him, *that his glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁰Mercy and truth have met together; *righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

¹¹Truth shall spring up from the earth, *and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

¹²The Lord will indeed grant prosperity, *and our land will yield its increase.

¹³Righteousness shall go before him, *and peace shall be a pathway for his feet.

¹Sing to the Lord a new song, *for he has done marvelous things.

¹Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *serve the Lord with gladness and come before his presence with a song.

²Know this: The Lord himself is God; *he himself has made us, and we are his; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

³Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise; *give thanks to him and call upon his Name.

⁴For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; *and his faithfulness endures from age to age.

¹When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, *then were we like those who dream.

²Then was our mouth filled with laughter, *and our tongue with shouts of joy.

³Then they said among the nations, *“The Lord has done great things for them.”

⁴The Lord has done great things for us, *and we are glad indeed.

⁵Restore our fortunes, O Lord, *like the watercourses of the Negev.

⁶Those who sowed with tears *will reap with songs of joy.

⁷Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, *will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.

¹Unless the Lord builds the house, *their labor is in vain who build it.

²Unless the Lord watches over the city, *in vain the watchman keeps his vigil.

³It is in vain that you rise so early and go to bed so late; *vain, too, to eat the bread of toil, for he gives to his beloved sleep.

⁴Children are a heritage from the Lord, *and the fruit of the womb is a gift.

⁵Like arrows in the hand of a warrior *are the children of one’s youth.

⁶Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them! *he shall not be put to shame when he contends with his enemies in the gate.

¹Oh, how good and pleasant it is, *when brethren live together in unity!

²It is like fine oil upon the head *that runs down upon the beard,

³Upon the beard of Aaron, *and runs down upon the collar of his robe.

⁷Praise the Lord from the earth, *you sea-monsters and all deeps;

⁸Fire and hail, snow and fog, *tempestuous wind, doing his will;

⁹Mountains and all hills, *fruit trees and all cedars;

¹⁰Wild beasts and all cattle, *creeping things and wingèd birds;

¹¹Kings of the earth and all peoples, *princes and all rulers of the world;

¹²Young men and maidens, *old and young together.
