¹ (A song and a psalm for the music leader.) Tell everyone on this earth to shout praises to God! ² Sing about his glorious name. Honor him with praises. ³ Say to God, "Everything you do is fearsome, and your mighty power makes your enemies come crawling. ⁴ You are worshiped by everyone! We all sing praises to you." ⁵ Come and see the fearsome things our God has done! ⁶ When God made the sea dry up, our people walked across, and because of him, we celebrated there. ⁷ His mighty power rules forever, and nothing the nations do can be hidden from him. So don't turn against God. ⁸ All of you people, come praise our God! Let his praises be heard. ⁹ God protects us from death and keeps us steady. ¹⁰ Our God, you tested us, just as silver is tested. ¹¹ You trapped us in a net and gave us heavy burdens. ¹² You sent war chariots to crush our skulls. We traveled through fire and through floods, but you brought us to a land of plenty. ¹³ I will bring sacrifices into your house, my God, and I will do what I promised ¹⁴ when I was in trouble. ¹⁵ I will sacrifice my best sheep and offer bulls and goats on your altar. ¹⁶ All who worship God, come here and listen; I will tell you everything God has done for me. ¹⁷ I prayed to the Lord, and I praised him. ¹⁸ If my thoughts had been sinful, he would have refused to hear me. ¹⁹ But God did listen and answered my prayer. ²⁰ Let's praise God! He listened when I prayed, and he is always kind.
