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.
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!
