For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song.

There will be silence ^[a]before You, and praise in Zion, O God, And to You the ^(a)vow will be performed.

O You who hear prayer, To You ^(b)all ^[b]men come.

^[c](c)Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You ^[d](d)forgive them.

How ^(e)blessed is the one whom You ^(f)choose and bring near to You To dwell in Your courts. We will be ^(g)satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.

By ^(h)awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O ⁽ⁱ⁾God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ^(j)ends of the earth and of the farthest ^[e](k)sea;

Who ^(l)establishes the mountains by His strength, Being ^(m)girded with might;

Who ⁽ⁿ⁾stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the ^(o)tumult of the peoples.

They who dwell in the ^(p)ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the ^[f]dawn and the sunset shout for joy.

You visit the earth and ^(q)cause it to overflow; You greatly ^(r)enrich it; The ^[g](s)stream of God is full of water; You prepare their ^(t)grain, for thus You prepare ^[h]the earth.

You water its furrows abundantly, You ^[i]settle its ridges, You soften it ^(u)with showers, You bless its growth.

You have crowned the year ^[j]with Your ^[k](v)bounty, And Your ^[l]paths ^(w)drip with fatness.

^(x)The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the ^(y)hills gird themselves with rejoicing.

The meadows are ^(z)clothed with flocks And the valleys are ^(aa)covered with grain; They ^(ab)shout for joy, yes, they sing.

For the choir director. A Song. A Psalm.

^(a)Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

Sing the ^(b)glory of His name; Make His ^(c)praise glorious.

Say to God, "How ^(d)awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will ^[a](e)give feigned obedience to You.

"^(f)All the earth will worship You, And will ^(g)sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name." ^[b]Selah.

^(h)Come and see the works of God, Who is ⁽ⁱ⁾awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

He ^(j)turned the sea into dry land; They passed through ^(k)the river on foot; There let us ^(l)rejoice in Him!

He ^(m)rules by His might forever; His ⁽ⁿ⁾eyes keep watch on the nations; Let not the rebellious ^(o)exalt themselves. Selah.

Bless our God, O peoples, And ^[c](p)sound His praise abroad,

Who ^[d](q)keeps us in life And ^(r)does not allow our feet to ^[e]slip.

For You have ^(s)tried us, O God; You have ^(t)refined us as silver is refined.

You ^(u)brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.

You made men ^(v)ride over our heads; We went through ^(w)fire and through water, Yet You ^(x)brought us out into a place of abundance.

I shall ^(y)come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall ^(z)pay You my vows,

Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was ^(aa)in distress.

I shall ^(ab)offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts, With the smoke of ^(ac)rams; I shall make an offering of ^[f]bulls with male goats. Selah.

^(ad)Come and hear, all who ^[g]fear God, And I will ^(ae)tell of what He has done for my soul.

I cried to Him with my mouth, And ^[h]He was ^(af)extolled with my tongue.

If I ^[i](ag)regard wickedness in my heart, The ^(ah)Lord ^[j]will not ^[k]hear;

But certainly ^(ai)God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

^(aj)Blessed be God, Who ^(ak)has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me.

For the choir director; with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.

God be gracious to us and ^(a)bless us, And ^(b)cause His face to shine ^[a]upon us— ^[b]Selah.

That ^(c)Your way may be known on the earth, ^(d)Your salvation among all nations.

Let the ^(e)peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.

Let the ^(f)nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will ^(g)judge the peoples with uprightness And ^(h)guide the nations on the earth. Selah.

Let the ⁽ⁱ⁾peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.

The ^(j)earth has yielded its produce; God, our God, ^(k)blesses us.

God blesses us, ^[c]That ^(l)all the ends of the earth may fear Him.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song.

^[a]Let ^(a)God arise, ^[b]let His enemies be scattered, And ^[c]let those who hate Him flee before Him.

As ^(b)smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As ^(c)wax melts before the fire, So let the ^(d)wicked perish before God.

But let the ^(e)righteous be glad; let them exult before God; Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.

Sing to God, ^(f)sing praises to His name; ^[d](g)Lift up a song for Him who ^(h)rides through the deserts, Whose ⁽ⁱ⁾name is ^[e]the Lord , and exult before Him.
