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.

1 Al Músico principal: Cántico: Salmo. ACLAMAD á Dios con alegría, toda la tierra:

2 Cantad la gloria de su nombre: Poned gloria en su alabanza.

3 Decid á Dios: ­Cuán terribles tus obras! Por lo grande de tu fortaleza te mentirán tus enemigos.

4 Toda la tierra te adorará, Y cantará á ti; Cantarán á tu nombre. (Selah.)

5 Venid, y ved las obras de Dios, Terrible en hechos sobre los hijos de los hombres.

6 Volvió la mar en seco; Por el río pasaron á pie; Allí en él nos alegramos.

7 El se enseñorea con su fortaleza para siempre: Sus ojos atalayan sobre las gentes: Los rebeldes no serán ensalzados. (Selah.)

8 Bendecid, pueblos, á nuestro Dios, Y haced oir la voz de su alabanza.

9 El es el que puso nuestra alma en vida, Y no permitió que nuestros pies resbalasen.

10 Porque tú nos probaste, oh Dios: Ensayástenos como se afina la plata.

11 Nos metiste en la red; Pusiste apretura en nuestros lomos.

12 Hombres hiciste subir sobre nuestra cabeza; Entramos en fuego y en aguas, Y sacástenos á hartura.

13 Entraré en tu casa con holocaustos: Te pagaré mis votos,

14 Que pronunciaron mis labios, Y habló mi boca, cuando angustiado estaba.

15 Holocaustos de cebados te ofreceré, Con perfume de carneros: Sacrificaré bueyes y machos cabríos. (Selah.)

16 Venid, oid todos los que teméis á Dios, Y contaré lo que ha hecho á mi alma.

17 A él clamé con mi boca, Y ensalzado fué con mi lengua.

18 Si en mi corazón hubiese yo mirado á la iniquidad, El Señor no me oyera.

19 Mas ciertamente me oyó Dios; Antendió á la voz de mi súplica.

20 Bendito Dios, Que no echó de sí mi oración, ni de mí su misericordia.
