You have crowned the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with fatness.

The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills encircle themselves with rejoicing.

The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy, yes, they sing.

I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows,

I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat animals, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah

I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was exalted with my tongue.

May the nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will judge the peoples with fairness And guide the nations on the earth. Selah

But the righteous will be joyful; they will rejoice before God; Yes, they will rejoice with gladness.

When you lie down among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold.

Why do you look with envy, you mountains of many peaks, At the mountain God has desired as His dwelling? Indeed, the LORD will dwell there forever.

Rebuke the animals in the reeds, The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, Trampling the pieces of silver; He has scattered the peoples who delight in war.

To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, He speaks with His voice, a mighty voice.

I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, those who oppose me with lies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore.

When I wept in my soul with fasting, It became my disgrace.

But as for me, my prayer is to You, LORD, at an acceptable time; God, in the greatness of Your mercy, Answer me with Your saving truth.

May they be wiped out of the book of life, And may they not be recorded with the righteous.

I will praise the name of God with song, And exalt Him with thanksgiving.

And it will please the LORD better than an ox Or bull with horns and hoofs.

My mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your glory all day long.
