Lord, through all the generations You have been our home! Before the mountains were created, before the earth was formed, You are God without beginning or end.

   He formed the mountains by His mighty strength. He quiets the raging oceans and all the world's clamor. In the farthest corners of the earth the glorious acts of God shall startle everyone. The dawn and sunset shout for joy! He waters the earth to make it fertile. The rivers of God will not run dry! He prepares the earth for His people and sends them rich harvests of grain. He waters the furrows with abundant rain. Showers soften the earth, melting the clods and causing seeds to sprout across the land.

   Then He crowns it all with green, lush pastures in the wilderness; hillsides blossom with joy. The pastures are filled with flocks of sheep, and the valleys are carpeted with grain. All the world shouts with joy, and sings.

   For, lo, He Who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought; Who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth - the Lord, the God of hosts, is His name!

   The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw revealed concerning Judah and Jerusalem: It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be (firmly) established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow to it. And many people shall come and say, "Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that He may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law and instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

   Sing for joy, O heavens, and be joyful, O earth, and break forth into singing, O mountains; for the Lord has comforted His people and will have compassion upon His afflicted.

   How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who bring good tidings of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
