1 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid. Shir)
2 Tehillah (praise) is due Thee, O Elohim, in Tziyon;
And unto Thee shall the neder (vow) be performed.
3 O Thou that hearest tefillah (prayer),
unto Thee shall kol basar come.
4 Divrei avonot (instances of iniquity) overwhelm me;
as for peysha'einu (our transgressions), Thou hast made kapporah for them.
5 Ashrei is the one whom Thou choosest,
and causest to come near unto Thee,
that he may dwell in Thy khatzerot;
we shall be satisfied with the tov of Thy Beis,
even of Thy Heikhal Kodesh.
6 By nora'ot (awesome deeds, awe-inspiring things) of tzedek (justice) wilt Thou answer us,
O Elohei Yish'einu (G-d of our salvation);
Who art the hope of all the ends of eretz,
and of them that are on the farthest seas;
7 Which by His ko'ach established the harim (mountains),
being girded with gevurah;
8 Which stilleth the roar of the seas,
the roar of their waves, and the tumult of the Amim (peoples, nations).
9 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at Thy otot (signs);
Thou makest the outgoing exits of boker and erev to resound with joy.
10 Thou visitest ha'aretz, and waterest it;
Thou greatly enrichest it with the peleg Elohim (fountain of G-d),
which is full of mayim;
Thou preparest them dagan (grain), for so Thou didst prepare it.
11 Thou waterest the furrows thereof abundantly;
Thou settlest the ridges thereof;
Thou makest it soft with showers;
Thou blessest the tzemach (sprout, branch),* thereof.
12 Thou crownest shnat tovatecha (the year with Thy goodness, bounty);
and Thy paths drip with plenty.
13 They drip upon the pastures of the midbar;
and the hills are enrobed with gladness.
14 The meadows are clothed with tzon;
the amakim (valleys) also are covered over with grain;
they shout for joy, they also sing.
