1 | A Song [or] Psalm.> Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: |
2 | Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. |
3 | Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. |
4 | All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. Selah. |
5 | Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his] doing toward the children of men. |
6 | He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. |
7 | He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. |
8 | O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: |
9 | Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. |
10 | For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. |
11 | Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. |
12 | Thou hast caused 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 go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, |
14 | Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. |
15 | I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. |
16 | Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. |
17 | I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. |
18 | If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me]: |
19 | [But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. |
20 | Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. |
