1To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. A Song. It is right for you, O God, to have praise in Zion: to you let the offering be made.
2To you, O hearer of prayer, let the words of all flesh come.
3Evils have overcome us: but as for our sins, you will take them away.
4Happy is the man of your selection, to whom you give a resting-place in your house; we will be full of the good things out of your holy place.
5You will give us an answer in righteousness by great acts of power, O God of our salvation; you who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of the far-off lands of the sea;
6The God by whose strength the mountains are fixed; who is robed with power:
7Who makes the loud voice of the sea quiet, and puts an end to the sound of its waves.
