Praise Awaits God in Zion

1(64:1) For the end, a Psalm and Song of David. Praise becomes thee, O God, in Sion; and to thee shall the vow be performed.

2(64:2) Hear my prayer; to thee all flesh shall come.

3(64:3) The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do thou pardon our sins.

4(64:4) Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in thy courts; we shall be filled with the good things of thy house; thy temple is holy.

5(64:5) Thou art wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are on the sea afar off:

6(64:6) who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about with power;

7(64:7) who troublest the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

8(64:8) The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends of the earth shall be afraid of thy signs; thou wilt cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.

9(64:9) Thou hast visited the earth, and saturated it; thou hast abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; thou hast prepared their food, for thus is the preparation of it.

10(64:10) Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; the crop springing up shall rejoice in its drops.

11(64:11) Thou wilt bless the crown of the year because of thy goodness; and thy plains shall be filled with fatness.

12(64:12) The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.

13(64:13) The rams of the flock are clothed with wool, and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yea they shall sing hymns.
