Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth!
1
To the Overseer. -- A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.
2 Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.
2
Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.
3
Say to God, `How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.
4 All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing the praises of your name.”
4
All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.
5 Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind!
5
Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot— come, let us rejoice in him.
6
He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.
7 He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations— let not the rebellious rise up against him.
7
Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.
8 Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;
8
Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,
9 he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
9
Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.
10 For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver.
10
For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.
11 You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.
11
Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.
12 You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.
12
Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.
13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you—
13
I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
14
For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.
15
`Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.
16
Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.
17
Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;
18
Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.
19 but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer.
19
But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
20
Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
