## Blessed Is the One Whom You Choose 

###### 1
To You, there will be silence _and_ praise in Zion, O God, And to You the vow will be paid. 

###### 2
O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh comes. 

###### 3
Words of iniquity prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You atone for them. 

###### 4
How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near _to You_ That he would dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple. 

###### 5
By fearsome _deeds_ You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, _You who are_ the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea; 

###### 6
Who establishes the mountains by His strength, Being girded with might; 

###### 7
Who stills the rumbling of the seas, The rumbling of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples. 

###### 8
They who inhabit the ends _of the earth_ are in fear on account of Your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. 

###### 9
You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You establish their grain, for thus You establish the earth. 

###### 10
You water its furrows abundantly, You smooth its ridges, You soften it with showers, You bless its growth. 

###### 11
You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip _with_ richness. 

###### 12
The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills gird themselves with rejoicing. 

###### 13
The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain; They make a loud shout, indeed, they sing.
