1 Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!

2 Sing to the glory of his name!

Offer glory and praise!

3 Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds!

Through the greatness of your power, 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 God’s deeds—

awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

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 watch the nations.

Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.

8 Praise our God, you peoples!

Make the sound of his praise heard,

9 who preserves our life among the living,

and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.

10 For you, God, have tested us.

You have refined us, as silver is refined.

11 You brought us into prison.

You laid a burden on our backs.

12 You allowed men to ride over our heads.

We went through fire and through water,

but you brought us to the place of abundance.

13 I will come into your temple with burnt offerings.

I will pay my vows to you, 14 which my lips promised,

and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.

15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals,

with the offering of rams,

I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.

16 Come and hear, all you who fear God.

I will declare what he has done for my soul.

17 I cried to him with my mouth.

He was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I cherished sin in my heart,

the Lord wouldn’t have listened.

19 But most certainly, God has listened.

He has heard the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, who has 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!
