1 R aise the voice of joy to God, all the earth!

Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:

2 S ing out the honor of His name! Make His praise great!

Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious.

3 S ay to God, “How Your great works make those who hate You afraid! They will have to obey You because of Your great power.

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

4 A ll the earth will worship You and sing praises to You. They will sing praises to Your name.”

All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah

5 C ome and see what God has done. There is much fear because of His great works toward the children of men.

6 H e changed the sea into dry land. They passed through the river on foot. There we were full of joy in Him.

He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him.

7 H e rules forever by His power. His eyes keep watch over the nations. Do not let those who do not obey You honor themselves.

He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

8 G ive honor and thanks to God, O people, and let all hear how great He is!

Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;

9 H e keeps us alive, and does not let our feet go out from under us.

Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10 F or You have tested us, O God. You have made us pure like silver is made pure.

For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11 Y ou brought us into the net. And You laid a heavy load on our back.

Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.

12 Y ou made men travel over our heads. We went through fire and through water. But You brought us out into a place where we have much more than we need.

Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will come into Your house with burnt gifts. I will give You what I promised,

I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,

14 p romises made by my lips and spoken by my mouth when I was in trouble.

Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.

15 I will give You burnt gifts of fat animals with the smoke of rams. I will give You bulls with male goats.

I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah

16 C ome and hear, all who fear God, and I will tell you what He has done for me.

Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17 I cried to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.

I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue.

18 T he Lord will not hear me if I hold on to sin in my heart.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:

19 B ut it is sure that God has heard. He has listened to the voice of my prayer.

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

20 H onor and thanks be to God! He has not turned away from my prayer or held His loving-kindness from me.

Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me.
