1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song. 2You who hear prayer, 3Sins overwhelmed me, 4Blessed is one whom you choose, and cause to come near, 5By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, 6Who by his power forms the mountains, 7who stills the roaring of the seas, 8They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders. 9You visit the earth, and water it. 10You drench its furrows. 11You crown the year with your bounty. 12The wilderness grasslands overflow. 13The pastures are covered with flocks.
