1 For the Chief Musician. A song, a Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth:

2 Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious.

3 Say to God, How awesome are your works! Through the greatness of your power will your enemies submit themselves to you.

4 All the earth will worship you, And will sing to you; They will sing to your name. Selah.

5 Come, and see the works of God; [He is] awesome in his doing toward the sons of man.

6 He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There we rejoiced in him.

7 He rules by his might forever; His eyes observe the nations: Don't 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 holds our soul in life, And does not allow our feet to be moved.

10 For you, O God, have proved us: You have tried us, as silver is tried.

11 You brought us into the net; You laid an intense burden on our loins.

12 You caused common man to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But you brought us out into abundance.

13 I will come into your house with burnt-offerings; I will pay you my vows,

14 Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.

15 I will offer to you burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks 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 If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:

19 But truly God has heard; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor his loving-kindness from me.
