1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm.” Shout joyfully unto God. all ye lands! 2 Sing ye the honor of his name; Make his praise glorious! 3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy doings! Through the greatness of thy power thine enemies are suppliants to thee! 4 Let all the earth worship thee; Let it sing praise to thee, let it sing praise to thy name! [[Pause.]] 5 Come, behold the works of God! How terrible his doings among the sons of men! 6 He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the deep on foot; Then we rejoiced in him. 7 By his power he ruleth for ever; His eyes are fixed upon the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves! [[Pause.]] 8 O bless our God, ye nations. And make the voice of his praise to be heard! 9 It is he who preserveth our lives, And suffereth not our feet to stumble. 10 Thou hast, indeed, proved us, O God! Thou hast tried us as silver is tried. 11 Thou broughtest us into a snare, And didst lay a heavy burden upon our backs; 12 Thou didst cause men to ride upon our heads, And we have gone through fire and water: But thou hast brought us to a place of abundance. 13 I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings! I will pay thee my vows,— 14 The vows which my lips uttered. Which my mouth promised in my trouble. 15 Burnt sacrifices of fatlings will I offer to thee with the fat of rams; Bullocks, with he-goats, will I sacrifice to thee. [[Pause.]] 16 Come and hear, all ye who fear God, And I will relate what he hath done for me! 17 I called upon him with my mouth, And praise is now upon my tongue. 18 If I had meditated wickedness in my heart, The Lord would not have heard me: 19 But surely God hath heard me; He hath had regard to the voice of my supplication. 20 Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer, Nor withhold his mercy from me!
