1 For the leader. A psalm of David. A song.
2 To you we owe our hymn of praise,O God on Zion;To you our vows must be fulfilled,
3 you who hear our prayers.To you all flesh must come
4 with its burden of wicked deeds.We are overcome by our sins;only you can pardon them.
5 Blessed the one whom you will choose and bringto dwell in your courts.May we be filled with the good things of your house,your holy temple!
6 You answer us with awesome deeds of justice,O God our savior,The hope of all the ends of the earthand of those far off across the sea.
