Praise to God for His Awesome Works
To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm.
1 Make Ps. 100:1a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2 Sing out the honor of His name;
Make His praise glorious.
3 Say to God,
"How Ps. 65:5awesome are Your works!
Ps. 18:44Through the greatness of Your power
Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.
4 Ps. 117:1; Zech. 14:16All the earth shall worship You
And sing praises to You;
They shall sing praises to Your name."
Selah
5 Come and see the works of God;
Heis awesome inHis doing toward the sons of men.
6 Ex. 14:21He turned the sea into dry land;
Josh. 3:14–16They went through the river on foot.
There we will rejoice in Him.
7 He rules by His power forever;
His eyes observe the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.
Selah
8 Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
9 Who keeps our soul among the living,
And does not allow our feet to be moved.
10 For Job 23:10; Ps. 17:3You, O God, have tested us;
(Is. 48:10; Zech. 13:9; Mal. 3:3; 1 Pet. 1:7)You have refined us as silver is refined.
11 Lam. 1:13; Ezek. 12:13You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
12 Is. 51:23You have caused men to ride over our heads;
Is. 43:2We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.
13 Ps. 100:4; 116:14, 17–19I will go into Your house with burnt offerings;
(Eccl. 5:4)I will pay You my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered
And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,
With the sweet aroma of rams;
I will offer bulls with goats.
Selah
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue.
18 Job 27:9; (Prov. 15:29; 28:9); Is. 1:15; (John 9:31; James 4:3)If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
19 But certainly God Ps. 116:1, 2has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!
