- {To the chief Musician.
A Song: a Psalm.} Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:
- 2
- Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;
- 3
- Say unto God, How terrible are thy works!
because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.
- 4
- All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name.
Selah.
- 5
- Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in [his] doings toward the children of men.
- 6
- He turned the sea into dry [land];
they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
- 7
- He ruleth by his power for ever;
his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
- 8
- Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
- 9
- Who hath set 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 a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;
- 12
- Thou didst cause men to ride over our head;
we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.
- 13
- I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings;
I will perform my vows to thee,
- 14
- Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
- 15
- I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams;
I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
- 16
- Come, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
- 17
- I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
- 18
- Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.
- 19
- But God hath heard;
he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
- 20
- Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!
