1 [To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm.] Shout aloud 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! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.4 All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah.5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in {his} doings 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 power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.8 Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;9 Who hath set 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 a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;12 Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.13 I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.15 I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.16 Come, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.17 I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.18 Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.19 But 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 loving-kindness from me!

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!
