⁵ By ^(J)awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
    O God of our salvation,
the hope of all ^(K)the ends of the earth
    and of the farthest seas;
⁶ the one who by his strength established the mountains,
    being ^(L)girded with might;
⁷ who ^(M)stills the roaring of the seas,
    the roaring of their waves,
    ^(N)the tumult of the peoples,
⁸ 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.

⁹ You visit the earth and ^(O)water it;^[b]
    you greatly enrich it;
^(P)the river of God is full of water;
    ^(Q)you provide their grain,
    for so you have prepared it.
¹⁰ You water its furrows abundantly,
    settling its ridges,
softening it with ^(R)showers,
    and blessing its growth.
¹¹ You crown the year with your bounty;
    your wagon tracks ^(S)overflow with abundance.
^12 (T)The pastures of the wilderness overflow,
    the hills ^(U)gird themselves with joy,
^13 (V)the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
    the valleys deck themselves with grain,
    they ^(W)shout and sing together for joy.

^15 (J)Blow the trumpet in Zion;
    ^(K)consecrate a fast;
call a solemn assembly;
¹⁶     gather the people.
^(L)Consecrate the congregation;
    assemble the elders;
^(M)gather the children,
    even nursing infants.
^(N)Let the bridegroom leave his room,
    and the bride her chamber.

^17 (O)Between the ^(P)vestibule and the ^(Q)altar
    ^(R)let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep
and say, “Spare your people, O Lord,
    and make not your heritage a reproach,
    a byword among the nations.^[a]
(S)Why should they say among the peoples,
    ‘Where is their God?’”

²⁰ “I will remove the northerner far from you,
    and drive him into a parched and desolate land,
his vanguard^[b] into ^(X)the eastern sea,
    and his rear guard^[c] into ^(Y)the western sea;
^(Z)the stench and foul smell of him will rise,
    for he has done great things.

²¹ “Fear not, O land;
    be glad and rejoice,
    for ^(AA)the Lord has done great things!
²² Fear not, ^(AB)you beasts of the field,
    for ^(AC)the pastures of the wilderness are green;
^(AD)the tree bears its fruit;
    the fig tree and ^(AE)vine give their full yield.

^(A)“My ^(B)soul ^(C)magnifies the Lord,
^{47     (D)}and my ^(E)spirit rejoices in ^(F)God my Savior,
⁴⁸ for ^(G)he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
    For behold, from now on all generations ^(H)will call me blessed;
⁴⁹ for ^(I)he who is mighty ^(J)has done great things for me,
    and ^(K)holy is his name.
⁵⁰ And ^(L)his mercy is for those who fear him
    from generation to generation.
^51 (M)He has shown strength with his arm;
    ^(N)he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
^52 (O)he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
    ^(P)and exalted those of humble estate;
⁵³ he has filled ^(Q)the hungry with good things,
    and the rich ^(R)he has sent away empty.
⁵⁴ He has ^(S)helped ^(T)his servant Israel,
    ^(U)in remembrance of his mercy,
^55 (V)as he spoke to our fathers,
    ^(W)to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
