1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

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

3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in 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 flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

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

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

9 Which 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 laidst affliction upon our loins.

12 Thou hast caused 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 go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices 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 me:

19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

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

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.
