1 Vir die musiekleier. 'n Lied. 'n Psalm. Juig tot eer van God, o ganse aarde!

2 Besing die eer van sy Naam, maak heerlik sy lofsang!

3 Sê tot God: Hoe vreeslik is u werke! Deur die grootheid van u sterkte sal u vyande kruipende na U toe kom.

4 Laat die hele aarde U aanbid en psalmsing tot u eer; laat dit u Naam verhef in psalmgesang. Sela.

5 Kom en aanskou die dade van God, Hy wat gedug is in werking oor die mensekinders.

6 Hy het die see verander in droë land; hulle het te voet deur die rivier gegaan. Daar was ons bly in Hom.

7 Hy heers vir ewig deur sy mag; sy oë hou wag oor die nasies. Laat die wederstrewiges hulleself nie verhef nie. Sela.

8 Loof, volke, onse God, en laat hoor die stem wat Hom roem --

9 wat aan ons siel die lewe gee en nie toelaat dat ons voet wankel nie.

10 Want U het ons getoets, o God, U het ons gelouter soos 'n mens silwer louter.

11 U het ons in die net gebring, 'n swaar las op ons heupe gelê.

12 U het mense oor ons hoof laat ry; ons het in die vuur en in die water gekom, maar U het ons uitgelei in die oorvloed.

13 Ek sal met brandoffers in u huis ingaan; ek sal U my geloftes betaal,

14 wat my lippe geuit en my mond uitgespreek het toe ek benoud was.

15 Brandoffers van vet diere sal ek U bring saam met offerrook van ramme; ek sal beeste saam met bokke berei. Sela.

16 Kom luister, en laat my vertel, julle almal wat God vrees, wat Hy aan my siel gedoen het.

17 Ek het Hom aangeroep met my mond, en lofgesang was onder my tong.

18 As ek ongeregtigheid bedoel het in my hart, sou die Here nie gehoor het nie.

19 Waarlik, God het gehoor; Hy het geluister na die stem van my gebed.

20 Geloofd sy God wat my gebed nie afgewys en sy goedertierenheid aan my nie onttrek het nie!

1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:

2 Sing forth the glory of his name:

Make his praise glorious.

3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works!

Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

4 All the earth shall worship thee,

And shall sing unto thee;

They shall sing to thy name. [Selah

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 went through the river on foot:

There did we rejoice in him.

7 He ruleth by his might for ever;

His eyes observe the nations:

Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah

8 Oh bless our God, ye peoples,

And make the voice of his praise to be heard;

9 Who holdeth our soul in life,

And suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us:

Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11 Thou broughtest us into the net;

Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.

12 Thou didst cause 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 thy house with burnt-offerings;

I will pay thee my vows,

14 Which my lips uttered,

And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.

15 I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,

With the incense of rams;

I will offer bullocks with goats. [Selah

16 Come, and hear, all ye that fear God,

And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17 I cried unto him with my mouth,

And he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,

The Lord will not hear:

19 But verily God hath heard;

He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,

Who hath not turned away my prayer,

Nor his lovingkindness from me.
