1For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth:
2Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious.
3Say to God, How awesome are your works! Through the greatness of your power your enemies shall submit themselves to you.
4All the earth shall worship you, And shall sing to you; They shall sing to your name. [Selah
5Come, and see the works of God; He is awesome in his doing toward the children of men.
6He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There we rejoiced in him.
7He rules by his might forever; His eyes observe the nations: Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah
8Oh bless our God, you peoples, And make the voice of his praise heard;
9Who holds our soul in life, And does not allow our feet to be moved.
10For you, O God, have proved us: You have tried us, as silver is tried.
11You brought us into the net; You laid a heavy burden upon our loins.
12You caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But you brought us out into a wealthy place.
13I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows,
14Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
15I will offer to you burnt offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. [Selah
16Come, and hear, all you who fear God, And I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17I cried to him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue.
18If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:
19But truly God has heard; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me.
