[1] 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!
