1 S hout joyfully to God, all the earth;

2 S ing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious.

3 S ay to God, “How awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will give feigned obedience to You.

4 “ All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name.” Selah.

5 C ome and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

6 H e turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river on foot; There let us rejoice in Him!

7 H e rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

8 B less our God, O peoples, And sound His praise abroad,

9 W ho keeps us in life And does not allow our feet to slip.

10 F or You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined.

11 Y ou brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.

12 Y ou made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.

13 I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows,

14 W hich my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.

15 I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah.

16 C ome and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.

17 I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue.

18 I f I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear;

19 B ut certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

20 B lessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me.
