1 Aclamai a Deus todas as terras. Cantai a glória do seu nome,

2 Rendei-lhe glória em cântico de louvor.

3 Dizei a Deus: Quão terríveis são as tuas obras! Pela grandeza da tua força se submeterão a ti os teus inimigos.

4 Toda a terra te adorará, E te cantará louvores; Eles cantarão o teu nome. (Selá)

5 Vinde e vede as obras de Deus; Terrível é ele nos seus feitos para com os filhos dos homens.

6 Converteu o mar em terra seca; Passaram a pé através do rio; Ali nos regozijamos nele.

7 Ele impera pelo seu poder para sempre; Os seus olhos estão de vigia sobre as nações; Não se exaltem os rebeldes. (Selá)

8 Bendizei, ó povos, a nosso Deus; E fazei que se ouça a voz do seu louvor;

9 O qual preserva em vida a nossa alma, E não permite que vacile o nosso pé.

10 Pois tu, ó Deus, nos tens posto à prova; Tens nos afinado, como se afina a prata.

11 Fizeste-nos entrar no laço do caçador; Pesada carga puseste sobre as nossas costas.

12 Fizeste que os homens cavalgassem sobre as nossas cabeças; Passamos pelo fogo e pela água, Mas nos trouxeste para a abundância.

13 Entrarei na tua casa com holocaustos, Pagar-te-ei os meus votos,

14 Os quais os meus lábios proferiram, E a minha boca prometeu, quando eu estava na angústia.

15 Oferecer-te-ei holocaustos de reses gordas, Com incenso de carneiros; Oferecerei novilhos com cabritos. (Selá)

16 Vinde, ouvi, vós todos os que temeis a Deus, E declararei o que tem feito por minha alma.

17 A ele clamei com a minha boca, E exaltei com a minha língua.

18 Se eu atender à iniqüidade no meu coração: O Senhor não ouvirá.

19 Mas na verdade Deus tem ouvido, Tem atendido à voz da minha oração.

20 Bendito seja Deus, Que não rejeitou a minha oração, Nem de mim apartou a sua benignidade.

1 To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm. Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:

2 Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.

3 Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.

4 Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah.)

5 Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.

6 The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.

7 He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.)

8 Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;

9 Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

10 For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

11 You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.

12 You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.

13 I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,

14 Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.

15 I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah.)

16 Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.

17 My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.

18 I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:

19 But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.

20 Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.
