3because of our many sins. Our sins are too heavy for us to carry, but you forgive the bad things that we do against you. 4You have blessed each person that you have chosen. You let them live near to you in your home. The good things that are in your holy temple will make us very happy! God, you are the one who saves us! You answer our prayers, and you do great things to rescue us. People from everywhere on earth trust in you, even those who live far away across the seas. 6You used your power to make the mountains, and you showed how strong you are. 7You stop the seas from being angry, so that their waters make no noise. You do the same with the angry nations.
