Shout with joy to God, all the earth! 1
Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious! 2
Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. 3
All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name." 4
Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf! 5
He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot, come, let us rejoice in him. 6
He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations, let not the rebellious rise up against him. 7
Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; 8
he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping. 9
For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. 10
You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. 11
You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance. 12
I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you- 13
vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble. 14
I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. 15
Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. 16
I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue. 17
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; 18
but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. 19
Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! 20
