By (A)awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
    O God of our salvation,
the hope of all (B)the ends of the earth
    and of the farthest seas;
the one who by his strength established the mountains,
    being (C)girded with might;
who (D)stills the roaring of the seas,
    the roaring of their waves,
    (E)the tumult of the peoples,
so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs.
You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.

You visit the earth and (F)water it;[a]
    you greatly enrich it;
(G)the river of God is full of water;
    (H)you provide their grain,
    for so you have prepared it.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
    settling its ridges,
softening it with (I)showers,
    and blessing its growth.
11 You crown the year with your bounty;
    your wagon tracks (J)overflow with abundance.
12 (K)The pastures of the wilderness overflow,
    the hills (L)gird themselves with joy,
13 (M)the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
    the valleys deck themselves with grain,
    they (N)shout and sing together for joy.

You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,(A)
    God our Savior,(B)
the hope of all the ends of the earth(C)
    and of the farthest seas,(D)
who formed the mountains(E) by your power,
    having armed yourself with strength,(F)
who stilled the roaring of the seas,(G)
    the roaring of their waves,
    and the turmoil of the nations.(H)
The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.(I)

You care for the land and water it;(J)
    you enrich it abundantly.(K)
The streams of God are filled with water
    to provide the people with grain,(L)
    for so you have ordained it.[a]
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
    you soften it with showers(M) and bless its crops.
11 You crown the year with your bounty,(N)
    and your carts overflow with abundance.(O)
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;(P)
    the hills are clothed with gladness.(Q)
13 The meadows are covered with flocks(R)
    and the valleys are mantled with grain;(S)
    they shout for joy and sing.(T)
