1 Hear my crying, O God, ♦︎
and listen to my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth I call to you with fainting heart; ♦︎
O set me on the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you are my refuge, ♦︎
a strong tower against the enemy.
4 Let me dwell in your tent for ever ♦︎
and take refuge under the cover of your wings.
5 For you, O God, will hear my vows; ♦︎
you will grant the request of those who fear your name.
6 You will add length of days to the life of the king, ♦︎
that his years may endure throughout all generations.
7 May he sit enthroned before God for ever; ♦︎
may steadfast love and truth watch over him.
8 So will I always sing praise to your name, ♦︎
and day by day fulfil my vows.
1 Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion; ♦︎
to you that answer prayer shall vows be paid.
2 To you shall all flesh come to confess their sins; ♦︎
when our misdeeds prevail against us,
you will purge them away.
3 Happy are they whom you choose
and draw to your courts to dwell there. ♦︎
We shall be satisfied with the blessings of your house,
even of your holy temple.
4 With wonders you will answer us in your righteousness,
O God of our salvation, ♦︎
O hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas.
5 In your strength you set fast the mountains ♦︎
and are girded about with might.
6 You still the raging of the seas, ♦︎
the roaring of their waves
and the clamour of the peoples.
7 Those who dwell at the ends of the earth
tremble at your marvels; ♦︎
the gates of the morning and evening sing your praise.
8 You visit the earth and water it; ♦︎
you make it very plenteous.
9 The river of God is full of water; ♦︎
you prepare grain for your people,
for so you provide for the earth.
10 You drench the furrows and smooth out the ridges; ♦︎
you soften the ground with showers and bless its increase.
11 You crown the year with your goodness, ♦︎
and your paths overflow with plenty.
12 May the pastures of the wilderness flow with goodness ♦︎
and the hills be girded with joy.
13 May the meadows be clothed with flocks of sheep ♦︎
and the valleys stand so thick with corn
that they shall laugh and sing.
