King James Version KJV
1 For the leader. A song. A psalm: Shout to God, all the earth!
1
Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2 Sing the glory of his name, make his praise glorious.
2
Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
3 Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds! At your great power, your enemies cringe.
3
Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4 All the earth bows down to you, sings praises to you, sings praises to your name."(Selah)
4
All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy 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 terrible in his doing toward 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
He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice 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 ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8 Bless our God, you peoples! Let the sound of his praise be heard!
8
O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from stumbling. (Selah)
9
Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
10 For you, God, have tested us, refined us as silver is refined.
10
For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into the net and bound our bodies fast.
11
Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
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
Thou hast caused 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 your house with burnt offerings, I will fulfill my vows to you,
13
I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 those my lips pronounced and my mouth spoke when I was in distress.
14
Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, 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 offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
16 Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me.
16
Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth, his praise was on my tongue.
17
I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 Had I cherished evil thoughts, Adonai would not have listened.
18
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
19 But in fact, God did listen; he paid attention to my prayer.
19
But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer or turn his grace away from me.
20
Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
