1 S hout joyfully to God, all the earth;

To the Overseer. -- A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.

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

Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.

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.

Say to God, `How fearful Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

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

All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.

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

Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts 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!

He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we 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.

Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.

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

Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,

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

Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.

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

For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

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

Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on 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.

Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.

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

I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

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

For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my 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.

`Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.

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

Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

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

Unto Him my mouth I have called, And exaltation under my tongue.

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

Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.

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

But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

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

Blessed God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
