¹ For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:² Sing forth the glory of his name: make his praise glorious.³ Say unto God, How terrible are 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. Selah⁵ 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 river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.⁷ He ruleth by his might for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

⁸ O bless our God, ye peoples, 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 layedst a sore burden 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 come 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 distress.¹⁵ I will offer unto thee burnt offerings of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah¹⁶ 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:¹⁹ But verily God hath heard; 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.
