To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: |
2 |
Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. |
3 |
Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. |
4 |
All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. |
5 |
Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. |
6 |
He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. |
7 |
He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. |
8 |
O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: |
9 |
Which holdeth 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 the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. |
12 |
Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. |
13 |
I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, |
14 |
Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. |
15 |
I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. |
16 |
Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. |
17 |
I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. |
18 |
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: |
19 |
But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. |
20 |
Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. |
