4 You bless your chosen ones,and you invite themto live near youin your temple.We will enjoy your house,the sacred temple.
5 Our God, you save us,and your fearsome deeds answerour prayers for justice!You give hope to peopleeverywhere on earth,even those across the sea.
6 You are strong,and your mighty powerput the mountains in place.
7 You silence the roaring wavesand the noisy shoutsof the nations.
8 People far away marvelat your fearsome deeds,and all who live under the suncelebrate and singbecause of you.
9 You take care of the earthand send rain to help the soilgrow all kinds of crops.Your rivers never run dry,and you prepare the earthto produce much grain.
