How Awesome Are Your Deeds
To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.
1 Ps. 81:1;95:1;98:4;100:1Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
2 sing the glory of his name;
[Josh. 7:19;Isa. 42:12]give to him glorious praise!
3 Say to God, See Ps. 65:5"How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power that your enemies See Ps. 18:44come cringing to you.
4 See Ps. 22:27All the earth worships you
and sings praises to you;
they sing praises to your name." Selah
5 ver. 16;Ps. 46:8Come and see what God has done:
[See ver. 3above]he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
6 He [Ex. 14:21] turned the sea into dry land;
they Ps. 74:15;See Josh. 3:14-17passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
7 who rules by his might forever,
whose See Ps. 11:4eyes keep watch on the nations—
let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8 Bless our God, O peoples;
let the sound of his praise be heard,
9 who has kept our soul among the living
and See Ps. 121:3has not let our feet slip.
10 For you, O God, have See Job 23:10tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into Lam. 1:13;Ezek. 12:13the net;
you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
12 you let men Isa. 51:23ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through Isa. 43:2water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.
13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
I will See Ps. 50:14perform my vows to you,
14 that which my lips uttered
and my mouth promised See Ps. 18:6when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,
with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah
16 ver. 5;Ps. 34:11Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth,
and high praise was on66:17 Hebrew under my tongue.66:17 Or and he was exalted with my tongue
18 If I had Job 36:21cherished iniquity in my heart,
[Prov. 28:9;Isa. 59:2;John 9:31;James 4:3;See Job 27:9]the Lord would not have listened.
19 But truly Ps. 116:1,2God has listened;
he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God,
because he has not rejected my prayer
or removed his steadfast love from me!
