3 Though we are overwhelmed by our sins,you forgive them all.
4 What joy for those you choose to bring near,those who live in your holy courts.What festivities await usinside your holy Temple.
5 You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds,O God our savior.You are the hope of everyone on earth,even those who sail on distant seas.
6 You formed the mountains by your powerand armed yourself with mighty strength.
7 You quieted the raging oceanswith their pounding wavesand silenced the shouting of the nations.
8 Those who live at the ends of the earthstand in awe of your wonders.From where the sun rises to where it sets,you inspire shouts of joy.
9 You take care of the earth and water it,making it rich and fertile.The river of God has plenty of water;it provides a bountiful harvest of grain,for you have ordered it so.
