[1] Let the whole earth shout joyfully to God! [2] Sing about the glory of his name; make his praise glorious. [3] Say to God, "How awe-inspiring are your works! Your enemies will cringe before you because of your great strength. [4] The whole earth will worship you and sing praise to you. They will sing praise to your name." Selah [5] Come and see the wonders of God; his acts for humanity are awe-inspiring. [6] He turned the sea into dry land, and they crossed the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him. [7] He rules forever by his might; he keeps his eye on the nations. The rebellious should not exalt themselves. Selah [8] Bless our God, you peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard. [9] He keeps us alive and does not allow our feet to slip. [10] For you, God, tested us; you refined us as silver is refined. [11] You lured us into a trap; you placed burdens on our backs. [12] You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us out to abundance. [13] I will enter your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows [14] that my lips promised and my mouth spoke during my distress. [15] I will offer you fattened sheep as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will sacrifice bulls with goats. Selah [16] Come and listen, all who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me. [17] I cried out to him with my mouth, and praise was on my tongue. [18] If I had been aware of malice in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. [19] However, God has listened; he has paid attention to the sound of my prayer. [20] Blessed be God! He has not turned away my prayer or turned his faithful love from me.
