What mighty praise, O God,

All of us must come to you.

those who live in your holy courts.
What festivities await us
inside your holy Temple.

O God our savior.
You are the hope of everyone on earth,

and armed yourself with mighty strength.

with their pounding waves
and silenced the shouting of the nations.

stand in awe of your wonders.
From where the sun rises to where it sets,
you inspire shouts of joy.

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.

melting the clods and leveling the ridges.
You soften the earth with showers
and bless its abundant crops.

even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.

and the hillsides blossom with joy.

and the valleys are carpeted with grain.
They all shout and sing for joy!
