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.
