[1] Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth: [2] Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious. [3] Say unto God, How terrible are 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 river on foot: There did we rejoice in him. [7] He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah [8] Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard; [9] Who 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 layedst a sore burden upon our loins. [12] Thou didst cause 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 come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows, [14] Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress. [15] I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings 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: [19] But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. [20] Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me.
