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. | |
