1 Make a joyful noise to God, all you lands:

2 Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.

3 Say to God, How terrible are you in your works! through the greatness of your power shall your enemies submit themselves to you.

4 All the earth shall worship you, and shall sing to you; they shall sing to your name. Selah.

5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

7 He rules by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

8 O bless our God, you people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

9 Which holds our soul in life, and suffers not 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 affliction on our loins.

12 You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but you brought us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will go into your house with burnt offerings: 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 to you burnt sacrifices of fatted calves, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

16 Come and hear, all you that 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 me:

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

20 Blessed be God, which has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

For the Chief Musician. A song, a Psalm.

1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:

2 Sing forth the glory of his name:

Make his praise glorious.

3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works!

Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

4 All the earth shall worship thee,

And shall sing unto thee;

They shall sing to thy name. [Selah

5 Come, and see the works of God;

He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

6 He turned the sea into dry land;

They went through the river on foot:

There did we rejoice in him.

7 He ruleth by his might for ever;

His eyes observe the nations:

Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah

8 Oh bless our God, ye peoples,

And make the voice of his praise to be heard;

9 Who holdeth our soul in life,

And suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us:

Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11 Thou broughtest us into the net;

Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.

12 Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads;

We went through fire and through water;

But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings;

I will pay thee my vows,

14 Which my lips uttered,

And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.

15 I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,

With the incense of rams;

I will offer bullocks with goats. [Selah

16 Come, and hear, all ye that fear God,

And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17 I cried unto 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 verily God hath heard;

He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,

Who hath not turned away my prayer,

Nor his lovingkindness from me.
