Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth!
1
To the Overseer. -- A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.
2 Sing about the glory of his name! Tell the world how glorious he is.
2
Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Your enemies cringe before your mighty power.
3
Say to God, `How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.
4 Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs.” Interlude
4
All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.
5 Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people!
5
Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.
6 He made a dry path through the Red Sea, and his people went across on foot. There we rejoiced 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 For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance. Interlude
7
Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.
8 Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing his praises.
8
Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,
9 Our lives are in his hands, and he keeps our feet from stumbling.
9
Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.
10 You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver.
10
For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.
11 You captured us in your net and laid the burden of slavery on our backs.
11
Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.
12 Then you put a leader over us. We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great 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 Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings to fulfill the vows I made to you—
13
I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,
14 yes, the sacred vows that I made when I was in deep trouble.
14
For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:
15 That is why I am sacrificing burnt offerings to you— the best of my rams as a pleasing aroma, and a sacrifice of bulls and male goats. Interlude
15
`Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.
16 Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me.
16
Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.
17 For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke.
17
Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.
18 If I had not confessed the 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 did listen! He paid attention to my prayer.
19
But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me.
20
Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
