1 Tell everyone on this earth

to shout praises to God!

2 Sing about his glorious name.

Honor him with praises.

3 Say to God, "Everything you do

is fearsome,

and your mighty power makes

your enemies come crawling.

4 You are worshiped by everyone!

We all sing praises to you."

5 Come and see the fearsome things

our God has done!

6 * When God made the sea dry up,

our people walked across,

and because of him,

we celebrated there.

7 His mighty power rules forever,

and nothing the nations do

can be hidden from him.

So don't turn against God.

8 All of you people,

come praise our God!

Let his praises be heard.

9 God protects us from death

and keeps us steady.

10 Our God, you tested us,

just as silver is tested.

11 You trapped us in a net

and gave us heavy burdens.

12 You sent war chariots

to crush our skulls.

We traveled through fire

and through floods,

but you brought us

to a land of plenty.

13 I will bring sacrifices

into your house, my God,

and I will do what I promised

14 when I was in trouble.

15 I will sacrifice my best sheep

and offer bulls and goats

on your altar.

16 All who worship God,

come here and listen;

I will tell you everything

God has done for me.

17 I prayed to the Lord,

and I praised him.

18 If my thoughts had been sinful,

he would have refused

to hear me.

19 But God did listen

and answered my prayer.

20 Let's praise God!

He listened when I prayed,

and he is always kind.
