[1] Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
[2] Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!
[3] Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.
[4] All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” Selah.
[5] Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
[6] He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.
[7] He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.
[8] Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard,
[9] who preserves our life among the living, and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.
[10] For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.
[11] You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.
[12] You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.
[13] I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,
[14] which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
[15] I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.
[16] Come, and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.
[17] I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
[18] If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.
[19] But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.
[20] Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.
