THOU, O God, art praised in Sion; * and unto thee shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.
 
Thou that hearest the prayer, * unto thee shall all flesh come.
 
My misdeeds prevail against me: * O be thou merciful unto our sins.
 
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and receivest unto thee: * he shall dwell in thy court, and shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
 
Thou shalt show us wonderful things in thy righteousness, O God of our salvation; * thou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that remain in the broad sea.
 
Who in his strength setteth fast the mountains, * and is girded about with power.
 
Who stilleth the raging of the sea, * and the noise of his waves, and the madness of the peoples.
 
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth shall be afraid at thy tokens, * thou that makest the out-goings of the morning and evening to praise thee.
 
Thou visitest the earth, and blessest it; * thou makest it very plenteous.
 
The river of God is full of water: * thou preparest their corn, for so thou providest for the earth.
 
Thou waterest her furrows; thou sendest rain into the little valleys thereof; * thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and blessest the increase of it.
 
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; * and thy clouds drop fatness.
 
They shall drop upon the dwellings of the wilderness; * and the little hills shall rejoice on every side.
 
The folds shall be full of sheep; * the valleys also shall stand so thick with corn, that they shall laugh and sing.

O BE joyful in God, all ye lands; * sing praises unto the honour of his Name; make his praise to be glorious.
 
Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou in thy works! * through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies bow down unto thee.
 
For all the world shall worship thee, * sing of thee, and praise thy Name.
 
O come hither, and behold the works of God; * how wonderful he is in his doing toward the children of men.
 
He turned the sea into dry land, * so that they went through the water on foot; there did we rejoice thereof.
 
He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: * and such as will not believe shall not be able to exalt themselves.
 
O praise our God, ye peoples, * and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
 
Who holdeth our soul in life; * and suffereth not our feet to slip.
 
For thou, O God, hast proved us; * thou also hast tried us, like as silver is tried.
 
Thou broughtest us into the snare; * and laidest trouble upon our loins.
 
Thou sufferedst men to ride over our heads; * we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
 
I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings, and will pay thee my vows, * which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble.
 
I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the incense of rams; * I will offer bullocks and goats.
 
O come hither, and hearken, all ye that fear God; * and I will tell you what he hath done for my soul.
 
I called unto him with my mouth, * and gave him praises with my tongue.
 
If I incline unto wickedness with mine heart, * the Lord will not hear me.
 
But God hath heard me; * and considered the voice of my prayer.
 
Praised be God, who hath not cast out my prayer, * nor turned his mercy from me.

God be merciful unto us, and bless us, * and show us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us;
 
That thy way may be known upon earth, * thy saving health among all nations.
 
Let the peoples praise thee, O God; * yea, let all the peoples praise thee.
 
O let the nations rejoice and be glad; * for thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.
 
Let the peoples praise thee, O God; * yea, let all the peoples praise thee.
 
Then shall the earth bring forth her increase; * and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.
 
God shall bless us; * and all the ends of the world shall fear him.
