- 1
- Declare you ioyfull vnto the Lorde all [ye of] the earth:
- 2
- sing psalmes vnto the glory of his name, geue glory to his maiestie.
- 3
- Say vnto the Lorde, oh howe wonderfull art thou in thy workes: thorow the greatnes of thy power thyne enemies shalbe founde liers vnto thee.
- 4
- For all [they of] the worlde shall worship thee, and sing psalmes vnto thee: they shall sing psalmes vnto thy holy name.
Selah.
- 5
- Come hither and beholde the workes of the Lorde: howe wonderfull he is in his doing towarde the chyldren of men.
- 6
- He turneth the sea into drye lande, so that they went thorowe the water on foote: there dyd we reioyce in him.
- 7
- He ruleth with his power for euer, his eyes beholdeth the gentiles: such as be rebels shal not come to promotion.
Selah.
- 8
- O ye people blesse your Lorde: and make the voyce of his praise to be heard.
- 9
- Who preserueth our soule in life: and suffereth not our feete to slip.
- 10
- For thou O Lord hast proued vs: thou hast tryed vs, like as siluer is tryed.
- 11
- Thou broughtest vs into the snare: and layde trouble vpon our loynes.
- 12
- Thou sufferedst men to ride ouer our heades: we went through fire and water, and [yet] thou broughtest vs out into a pleasaunt [place.]
- 13
- I wyll go into thy house with burnt offeringes: and I wyll pay thee my vowes
- 14
- whiche I promised with my lippes, and spake with my mouth when I was in trouble.
- 15
- I wyll offer vnto thee fat burnt sacrifices, with the incense of rammes: I will offer bullockes and goates.
Selah.
- 16
- O come hither, & hearken: and I wil tell all you that feare the Lorde, what he hath done for my soule.
- 17
- I called vnto hym with my mouth: and I exalted him with my tongue.
- 18
- If I had inclined vnto wickednes in my heart, the Lorde woulde not haue hearde me:
- 19
- but the Lorde hath hearde me, & considered the voyce of my prayer.
- 20
- Blessed be the Lorde which hath not reiected my prayer: nor turned his mercye from me.
