Praise for God's Mighty Deeds and for His Answer to Prayer.

^1 (C1)Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

² Sing of the ^(C1)honor and glory and magnificence of His name;
Make His ^(C2)praise glorious.

³ Say to God, "How ^(C1)awesome and fearfully glorious are Your works!
Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will ^(C2)pretend to be obedient to You.

⁴ "^(C1)All the earth will bow down to worship You in submissive wonder,
And will ^(C2)sing praises to You;
They will praise Your name in song." Selah.

^5 (C1)Come and see the works of God,
He is ^(C2)awesome in His deeds toward the children of men.

⁶ He ^(C1)turned the sea into dry land;
They crossed through ^(C2)the river on foot;
There we ^(C3)rejoiced in Him. ^(VR1)

⁷ Who ^(C1)rules by His might forever,
His ^(C2)eyes keep watch on the nations;
Do not let the rebellious ^(C3)exalt themselves. Selah.

⁸ Bless our God, O peoples,
And ^(C1)make the sound of His praise be heard abroad,

⁹ Who ^(C1)keeps us among the living,
And ^(C2)does not allow our feet to slip or stumble.

¹⁰ For You have tested us, O God;
You have ^(C1)refined us as silver is ^(C2)refined.

¹¹ You ^(C1)brought us into the net;
You laid a heavy burden of servitude on ^(F1)us.

¹² You made men (charioteers) ^(F1)(C1)ride over our heads in defeat;
We went through ^(C2)fire and through water,
Yet You ^(C3)brought us out into a broad place of abundance to be refreshed.

¹³ I shall ^(C1)come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall ^(C2)pay You my vows,

¹⁴ Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke as a promise when I was ^(C1)in distress.

¹⁵ I shall ^(C1)offer to You burnt offerings of fat lambs,
With the sweet smoke of ^(C2)rams;
I will offer bulls with male goats. Selah.

^16 (C1)Come and hear, all who fear God and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience,
And I will ^(C2)tell what He has done for me.

¹⁷ I cried aloud to Him;
He was ^(C1)highly praised with my tongue.

¹⁸ If I ^(C1)regard sin and baseness in my heart that is, if I know it is there and do nothing about it,
The ^(C2)Lord will not hear me; ^(VR1)

¹⁹ But certainly ^(C1)God has heard me;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

^20 (C1)Blessed be God,
Who ^(C2)has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.
