1 M ake a joyful shout to God, all the earth!

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

3 S ay to God, “How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.

4 A ll the earth shall worship You And sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah

5 C ome and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.

6 H e turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot. There we will rejoice in Him.

7 H e rules by His power forever; His eyes observe the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

8 O h, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard,

9 W ho keeps our soul among the living, And does not allow our feet to be moved.

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

11 Y ou brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs.

12 Y ou have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

13 I will go into Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows,

14 W hich my lips have uttered And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals, With the sweet aroma of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. Selah

16 C ome and hear, all you who fear God, And I will declare 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 iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear.

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

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