God with Us

⁵ In righteousness you answer us, by your awesome deeds, God of our salvation you, who are the security of all the far edges of the earth, even the distant seas. ⁶ You establish the mountains by your strength; you are dressed in raw power. ⁷ You calm the roaring seas; calm the roaring waves, calm the noise of the nations. ⁸ Those who dwell on the far edges stand in awe of your acts. You make the gateways of morning and evening sing for joy. ⁹ You visit the earth and make it abundant, enriching it greatly by God’s stream, full of water. You provide people with grain because that is what you’ve decided. ¹⁰ Drenching the earth’s furrows, leveling its ridges, you soften it with rain showers; you bless its growth. ¹¹ You crown the year with your goodness; your paths overflow with rich food. ¹² Even the desert pastures drip with it, and the hills are dressed in pure joy. ¹³ The meadowlands are covered with flocks, the valleys decked out in grain they shout for joy; they break out in song!
