1Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth; 2sing the glory of his name;
give to him glorious praise! 3Say to God, "How terrible are your deeds!
So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. 4All the earth worships you;
they sing praises to you,
sing praises to your name." Selah 5Come and see what God has done:
he is terrible in his deeds among men. 6He turned the sea into dry land;
men passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him, 7who rules by his might for ever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations -
let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah 8Bless our God, O peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard, 9who has kept us among the living,
and has not let our feet slip. 10For you have tested us, O God;
you have tried us as silver is tried. 11You brought us into the net;
you laid affliction on our loins; 12you let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water;
yet you have brought us forth to a spacious place. 13I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay you my vows, 14that which my lips uttered
and my mouth promised when I was in trouble. 15I will offer to you burnt offerings of fatlings,
with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah 16Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for me. 17I cried aloud to him,
and he was extolled with my tongue. 18If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
Yahweh would not have listened. 19But truly God has listened;
he has given heed to the voice of my prayer. 20Blessed be God,
because he has not rejected my prayer
or removed his steadfast love from me!
