¹ To the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm. MAKE A joyful noise unto God, all the earth; ² Sing forth the honor and glory of His name; make His praise glorious! ³ Say to God, How awesome and fearfully glorious are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power shall Your enemies submit themselves to You . ⁴ All the earth shall bow down to You and sing to You; they shall praise Your name in song. Selah ! ⁵ Come and see the works of God; see how terrible in His doings toward the children of men. ⁶ He turned the sea into dry land, they crossed through the river on foot; there did we rejoice in Him. ⁷ He rules by His might forever, His eyes observe and keep watch over the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah ! ⁸ Bless our God, O peoples, give Him grateful thanks and make the voice of His praise be heard, ⁹ Who put and kept us among the living, and has not allowed our feet to slip. ¹⁰ For You, O God, have proved us; You have tried us as silver is tried, refined, and purified. ¹¹ You brought us into the net (the prison fortress, the dungeon); You laid a heavy burden upon our loins. ¹² You caused men to ride over our heads ; we went through fire and through water, but You brought us out into a broad, moist place . ¹³ I will come into Your house with burnt offerings ; I will pay You my vows, ¹⁴ Which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in distress. ¹⁵ I will offer to You burnt offerings of fat lambs, with rams consumed in sweet-smelling smoke; I will offer bullocks and he-goats. Selah ! ¹⁶ Come and hear, all you who reverently and worshipfully fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me! ¹⁷ I cried aloud to Him; He was extolled and high praise was under my tongue. ¹⁸ If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me; ¹⁹ But certainly God has heard me; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. ²⁰ Blessed be God, Who has not rejected my prayer nor removed His mercy and loving-kindness from being with me.
