BBE

1 For the leader. A song. A psalm: Shout to God, all the earth!
1 <To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm.> Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:
2 Sing the glory of his name, make his praise glorious.
2 Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.
3 Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds! At your great power, your enemies cringe.
3 Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.
4 All the earth bows down to you, sings praises to you, sings praises to your name."(Selah)
4 Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah.)
5 Come and see what God has done, his awesome dealings with humankind.
5 Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land. They passed through the river on foot; there we rejoiced in him.
6 The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.
7 With his power he rules forever; his eyes keep watch on the nations. Let no rebel arise to challenge him.
7 He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.)
8 Bless our God, you peoples! Let the sound of his praise be heard!
8 Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;
9 He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from stumbling. (Selah)
9 Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.
10 For you, God, have tested us, refined us as silver is refined.
10 For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.
11 You brought us into the net and bound our bodies fast.
11 You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.
12 You made men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water. But you brought us out to a place of plenty.
12 You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.
13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings, I will fulfill my vows to you,
13 I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,
14 those my lips pronounced and my mouth spoke when I was in distress.
14 Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer you burnt offerings of fattened animals, along with the sweet smoke of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. (Selah)
15 I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah.)
16 Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me.
16 Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth, his praise was on my tongue.
17 My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.
18 Had I cherished evil thoughts, Adonai would not have listened.
18 I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:
19 But in fact, God did listen; he paid attention to my prayer.
19 But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer or turn his grace away from me.
20 Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.
