1 God of Zion, to you even silence is praise.Promises made to you are kept—
2 you listen to prayer—and all living things come to you.
3 When wrongdoings become too much for me,you forgive our sins.
4 How happy is the one you choose to bring close,the one who lives in your courtyards!We are filled full by the goodness of your house,by the holiness of your temple.
5 In righteousness you answer us,by your awesome deeds,God of our salvation—you, who are the securityof all the far edges of the earth,even the distant seas.
