1To You belongs silence [the submissive wonder of reverence], and [it bursts into] praise in Zion, O God; And to You the vow shall be performed. O You who hear prayer, To You all mankind comes. 3Wickedness and guilt prevail against me; Yet as for our transgressions, You forgive them [removing them from Your sight]. 4Blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near To dwell in Your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.
