Praise waits for thee in Sion, Lord:
to thee vows paid shall be.
O thou that hearer art of pray�r,
all flesh shall come to thee.
Iniquities, I must confess,
prevail against me do:
But as for our transgressions,
them purge away shalt thou.
Bless�d is the man whom thou dost chuse,
and mak�st approach to thee,
That he within thy courts, O Lord,
may still a dweller be:
We surely shall be satisfy�d
with thy abundant grace,
And with the goodness of thy house,
ev�n of thy holy place.
O God of our salvation,
thou, in thy righteousness,
By fearful works unto our pray�rs
thine answer dost express:
Therefore the ends of all the earth,
and those afar that be
Upon the sea, their confidence,
O Lord, will place in thee.
Who, being girt with pow�r, sets fast
by his great strength the hills.
Who noise of seas, noise of their waves,
and people�s tumult, stills.
Those in the utmost parts that dwell
are at thy signs afraid:
Th� outgoings of the morn and ev�n
by thee are joyful made.
The earth thou visit�st, wat�ring it;
thou mak�st it rich to grow
With God�s full flood; thou corn prepar�st,
when thou provid�st it so.
Her rigs thou wat�rest plenteously,
her furrows settelest:
With show�rs thou dost her mollify,
her spring by thee is blest.
So thou the year most lib�rally
dost with thy goodness crown;
And all thy paths abundantly
on us drop fatness down.
They drop upon the pastures wide,
that do in deserts lie;
The little hills on ev�ry side
rejoice right pleasantly.
With flocks the pastures clothed be,
the vales with corn are clad;
And now they shout and sing to thee,
for thou hast made them glad.
