New King James Version | International Standard Version |
1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion; And to You the vow shall be performed. | 1In Zion, God, praise silently awaits you, and vows will be paid to you. |
2O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh will come. | 2Since you hear prayer, everybody will come to you. |
3Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You will provide atonement for them. | 3My acts of iniquity—they overwhelm me! Our transgressions—you blot them out! |
4Blessed is the man You choose, And cause to approach You, That he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Of Your holy temple. | 4How blessed is the one you choose, the one you cause to live in your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, yes, even with the holiness of your Temple. |
5By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us, O God of our salvation, You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the far-off seas; | 5With awesome deeds of justice you will answer us, God our Deliverer; you are the confidence for everyone at the ends of the earth, even for those far away overseas. |
6Who established the mountains by His strength, Being clothed with power; | 6The One who established the mountains by his strength is clothed with omnipotence. |
7You who still the noise of the seas, The noise of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples. | 7He calmed the roar of seas, the roaring of the waves, and the turmoil of the peoples. |
8They also who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs; You make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice. | 8Those living at the furthest ends of the earth are seized by fear because of your miraculous deeds. You make the going forth of the morning and the evening shout for joy. |
9You visit the earth and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, For so You have prepared it. | 9You take care of the earth, you water it, and you enrich it greatly with the river of God that overflows with water. You provide grain for them, for you have ordained it this way. |
10You water its ridges abundantly, You settle its furrows; You make it soft with showers, You bless its growth. | 10You fill the furrows of the field with water so that their ridges overflow. You soften them with rain showers; their sprouts you have blessed. |
11You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. | 11You crown the year with your goodness; your footsteps drop prosperity behind them. |
12They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. | 12The wilderness pastures drip with dew, and the hills wrap themselves with joy. |
13The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing. | 13The meadows are clothed with flocks of sheep, and the valleys are covered with grain. They shout for joy; yes, they burst out in song! |
