1
To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm. Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2
Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious.
3
Say to God, "How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.
4
All the earth shall worship You And sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name." Selah
5
Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
6
He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot. There we will rejoice in Him.
7
He rules by His power forever; His eyes observe the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8
Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
9
Who keeps our soul among the living, And does not allow our feet to be moved.
10
For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined.
11
You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs.
12
You 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
Which 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
Come 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
If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear.
19
But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20
Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me!
