1: 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. |
