lyrics

Praise waits for You, O God, in Zion;
And to You the vow will be performed.
O You who hear prayer,
To You all flesh will come.

Iniquities prevail against me;
As for our transgressions,
You will purge them away.

Blessed is the one You choose
And cause to approach You,
That he may dwell in Your courts.
We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Even of Your holy temple.

By awesome deeds in righteousness You answer us,
O God of our salvation,
You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth
And of those far off upon the sea.

You who by Your strength set the mountains firmly in place,
Being girded with power;
You who still the roaring of the seas,
The roaring of their waves,
And the tumult of the peoples—
So that those who dwell in the uttermost parts
Stand in awe at Your signs.
You make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice.

You visit the earth and water it;
You greatly enrich it
With the river of God, which is full of water.
You prepare their grain,
For so You have provided it.
You water its ridges abundantly;
You settle its furrows;
You soften it with showers;
You bless its sprouting growth.

You crown the year with Your goodness,
And Your paths overflow with abundance.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness;
The little hills rejoice on every side.
The pastures are clothed with flocks;
The valleys also are covered with grain;
They shout for joy, they also sing.

The psalms weren't meant to sit quietly on a page. They were meant to be lived— sung, cried, screamed, whispered in the dark.

— That's how David wrote them.
