1 Shout joyfully to God, all the earth!
2 Sing about the glory of His name;make His praise glorious.
3 Say to God, “How awe-inspiring are Your works!Your enemies will cringe before Youbecause of Your great strength.
4 All the earth will worship Youand sing praise to You.They will sing praise to Your name.” Selah
5 Come and see the wonders of God; His acts for humanity are awe-inspiring.
6 He turned the sea into dry land,and they crossed the river on foot. There we rejoiced in Him.
7 He rules forever by His might;He keeps His eye on the nations. The rebellious should not exalt themselves. Selah
8 Praise our God, you peoples;let the sound of His praise be heard.
9 He keeps us alive and does not allow our feet to slip.
10 For You, God, tested us;You refined us as silver is refined.
11 You lured us into a trap;You placed burdens on our backs.
12 You let men ride over our heads;we went through fire and water,but You brought us out to abundance.
13 I will enter Your house with burnt offerings;I will pay You my vows
14 that my lips promisedand my mouth spoke during my distress.
15 I will offer You fattened sheep as burnt offerings,with the fragrant smoke of rams;I will sacrifice oxen with goats. Selah
16 Come and listen, all who fear God,and I will tell what He has done for me.
17 I cried out to Him with my mouth,and praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had been aware of malice in my heart,the Lord would not have listened.
19 However, God has listened;He has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.
20 May God be praised!He has not turned away my prayeror turned His faithful love from me.
