Shout with joy to God, all the earth!12
Sing the glory of his name;2 make his praise glorious!33
Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds!4 So great is your power that your enemies cringe5 before you.
4
All the earth bows down6 to you; they sing praise7 to you, they sing praise to your name." "Selah"
5
Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works8 in man's behalf !
6
He turned the sea into dry land,9 they passed through10 the waters on foot-- come, let us rejoice11 in him.
7
He rules forever12 by his power, his eyes watch13 the nations-- let not the rebellious14 rise up against him. "Selah"
8
Praise15 our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;
9
he has preserved our lives16 and kept our feet from slipping.1710
For you, O God, tested18 us; you refined us like silver.1911
You brought us into prison20 and laid burdens21 on our backs.
12
You let men ride over our heads;22 we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.2313
I will come to your temple with burnt offerings24 and fulfill my vows25 to you--
14
vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
15
I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.26 "Selah"
16
Come and listen,27 all you who fear God; let me tell28 you what he has done for me.
17
I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.
18
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;2919
but God has surely listened and heard my voice30 in prayer.
20
Praise be to God, who has not rejected31 my prayer or withheld his love from me!
