[1] Make a loud shout to God, all the earth; [2] Sing praise for the glory of His name; Establish His praise as glorious. [3] Say to God, “How fearsome are Your works! Because of the abundance of Your strength Your enemies will cower before You. [4] “All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name.” Selah. [5] Come and see the works of God, Who is fearsome in His deeds toward the sons of men. [6] He turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river on foot; There let us be glad in Him! [7] He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. [8] Bless our God, O peoples, And make the sound of His praise heard, [9] Who establishes us among the living And does not allow our feet to stumble. [10] For You have tested us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined. [11] You brought us into the net; You established an oppressive burden upon our loins. [12] You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance. [13] I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows, [14] Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress. [15] I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah. [16] Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will recount what He has done for my soul. [17] I called out to Him with my mouth, And He was exalted with my tongue. [18] If I see wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear; [19] But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. [20] Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me.
