[1] Everything on earth, shout with joy to God! [2] Sing about his glory! Make his praise glorious! [3] Say to God, "Your works are amazing! Your power is great. Your enemies fall before you. [4] All the earth worships you. They sing praises to you. They sing praises to your name." Selah [5] Come and see what God has done. See what amazing things he has done for people. [6] He turned the sea into dry land. The people crossed the river on foot. So let us rejoice because of what he did. [7] He rules forever with his power. He keeps his eye on the nations. So people should not turn against him. Selah [8] You people, praise our God. Loudly sing his praise. [9] He protects our lives and does not let us be defeated. [10] God, you have tested us. You have purified us like silver. [11] You let us be trapped. You put a heavy load on us. [12] You let our enemies walk on our heads. We went through fire and flood. But you brought us to a place with good things. [13] I will come to your Temple with burnt offerings. I will give you what I promised. [14] I promised to give you these things when I was in trouble. [15] I will bring you offerings of fat animals. And I will offer male sheep, bulls and goats. Selah [16] All of you who fear God, come and listen. I will tell you what he has done for me. [17] I cried out to him with my mouth. I praised him with my tongue. [18] If I had known of any sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened to me. [19] But God has listened. He has heard my prayer. [20] Praise God. He did not ignore my prayer. He did not hold back his love from me.
