For You, O God, have heard my vows;You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.

He will sit enthroned before God forever;Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may guard him.

Surely my soul waits in silence for God;From Him is my salvation.

Surely wait in silence for God, O my soul,For my hope is from Him.

On God my salvation and my glory rest;The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

Trust in Him at all times, O people;Pour out your heart before Him;God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Once God has spoken;Twice I have heard this:That strength belongs to God;

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,In a dry and weary land without water.

But the king will be glad in God;Everyone who swears by Him will boast,For the mouths of those who speak lies will be closed.

Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;Guard my life from dread of the enemy.

But God will shoot them with an arrow;Suddenly they will be wounded.

Then all men will fear,And they will declare the work of God,And will consider what He has done.

To You, there will be silence and praise in Zion, O God,And to You the vow will be paid.

By fearsome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation,You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

You visit the earth and cause it to overflow;You greatly enrich it;The stream of God is full of water;You establish their grain, for thus You establish the earth.

Make a loud shout to God, all the earth;

Say to God, "How fearsome are Your works!Because of the abundance of Your strength Your enemies will cower before You.

Come and see the works of God,Who is fearsome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

Bless our God, O peoples,And make the sound of His praise heard,

For You have tested us, O God;You have refined us as silver is refined.
