Ofertas de gratidão
Ao mestre de canto. Cântico. Salmo

1 Aclamai a Deus, toda a terra.

2 Salmodiai a glória do seu nome,

dai glória ao seu louvor.

3 Dizei a Deus: Que tremendos são os teus feitos!

Pela grandeza do teu poder,

a ti se mostram submissos os teus inimigos.

4 Prostra-se toda a terra perante ti,

canta salmos a ti;

salmodia o teu nome.

5 Vinde e vede as obras de Deus:

tremendos feitos para com os filhos dos homens!

6 Converteu o mar em terra seca;

atravessaram o rio a pé;

ali, nos alegramos nele.

7 Ele, em seu poder, governa eternamente;

os seus olhos vigiam as nações;

não se exaltem os rebeldes.

8 Bendizei, ó povos, o nosso Deus;

fazei ouvir a voz do seu louvor;

9 o que preserva com vida a nossa alma

e não permite que nos resvalem os pés.

10 Pois tu, ó Deus, nos provaste;

acrisolaste-nos como se acrisola a prata.

11 Tu nos deixaste cair na armadilha;

oprimiste as nossas costas;

12 fizeste que os homens cavalgassem sobre a nossa cabeça;

passamos pelo fogo e pela água;

porém, afinal, nos trouxeste para um lugar espaçoso.

13 Entrarei na tua casa com holocaustos;

pagar-te-ei os meus votos,

14 que proferiram os meus lábios,

e que, no dia da angústia, prometeu a minha boca.

15 Oferecer-te-ei holocaustos de vítimas cevadas,

com aroma de carneiros;

imolarei novilhos com cabritos.

16 Vinde, ouvi, todos vós que temeis a Deus,

e vos contarei o que tem ele feito por minha alma.

17 A ele clamei com a boca, com a língua o exaltei.

18 Se eu no coração contemplara a vaidade,

o Senhor não me teria ouvido.

19 Entretanto, Deus me tem ouvido

e me tem atendido a voz da oração.

20 Bendito seja Deus, que não me rejeita a oração,

nem aparta de mim a sua graça.

For the Chief Musician. A song, a Psalm.

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.

1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth!

2 Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.

3 Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.

4 All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing the praises of your name." [^1]

5 Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind!

6 He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot — come, let us rejoice in him.

7 He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations — let not the rebellious rise up against him.

8 Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;

9 he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.

10 For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver.

11 You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.

12 You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.

13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you —

14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.

15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.

16 Come and hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.

17 I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.

18 If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;

19 but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer.

20 Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
