About this psalm

It begins in the temple with vows and forgiven sin, widens to the whole earth and the sea and the mountains, and then comes down into a field. God waters the ridges, settles the furrows, softens it with showers. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. It ends with the valleys shouting for joy and singing, which is what a full harvest looks like from a distance.

Read it at harvest, or when you have been given more than you asked.

One verse at a time, slowly

¹Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion:and unto thee shall the vow be performed.²O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.³Iniquities prevail against me:as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.⁴Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts:we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.⁵By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation;who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:⁶Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;being girded with power:⁷Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.⁸They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens:thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.⁹Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it:thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water:thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.¹⁰Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly:thou settlest the furrows thereof:thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.¹¹Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;and thy paths drop fatness.¹²They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness:and the little hills rejoice on every side.¹³The pastures are clothed with flocks;the valleys also are covered over with corn;they shout for joy, they also sing.
