1Shout to God, all the earth,
2sing praise to his glorious name, sing his glorious praise.
3Say to God, “How dread are your works, so great is your might that your enemies cringe to you.
4All the earth does homage to you, singing praises to you, singing praise to your name.” Selah
5Come and see what God has done, awe-inspiring is he in his works among people.
6He turns the sea into dry land, and people cross the river on foot. Let us therefore rejoice in him,
7the mighty Ruler eternal, whose eyes keep watch on the nations, that no rebel lift up his head. Selah
8O bless our God, you peoples; sound aloud his praise,
9who keeps us in life, and keeps our feet from slipping.
10For you, God, have tested us, have tried us, as silver is tried.
11You did bring us into prison, and put chains upon us,
12you did let people ride over our head. We went through fire and through water, but you led us out to a spacious place.
13I will enter your house with burnt-offerings, I will pay to you my vows,
14which my open lips have uttered, arid my mouth has declared in my straits.
15I will offer you offerings of fatlings, with the odour of burning rams, I will sacrifice bullocks with goats. Selah
16Come and hear my story all who hold God in awe – of what he has done for me.
17For my mouth had no sooner invoked him than his praise was under my tongue.
18Had I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would never have listened.
19But assuredly God has listened, and attended to my loud prayer.
20Blessed be God, who turned not aside my prayer, nor withdrew his kindness from me.
