^1 (0) For the leader. A song. A psalm:

⁽¹⁾ Shout to God, all the earth!
² Sing the glory of his name,
make his praise glorious.
³ Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds!
At your great power, your enemies cringe.
⁴ All the earth bows down to you,
sings praises to you, sings praises to your name." (Selah)

⁵ Come and see what God has done,
his awesome dealings with humankind.
⁶ He turned the sea into dry land.
They passed through the river on foot;
there we rejoiced in him.
⁷ With his power he rules forever;
his eyes keep watch on the nations.
Let no rebel arise to challenge him. (Selah)

⁸ Bless our God, you peoples!
Let the sound of his praise be heard!
⁹ He preserves our lives
and keeps our feet from stumbling.
¹⁰ For you, God, have tested us,
refined us as silver is refined.
¹¹ You brought us into the net
and bound our bodies fast.
¹² You made men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water.
But you brought us out
to a place of plenty.

¹³ I will come into your house with burnt offerings,
I will fulfill my vows to you,
¹⁴ those my lips pronounced and my mouth spoke
when I was in distress.
¹⁵ I will offer you burnt offerings of fattened animals,
along with the sweet smoke of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats. (Selah)

¹⁶ Come and listen, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for me.
¹⁷ I cried out to him with my mouth,
his praise was on my tongue.
¹⁸ Had I cherished evil thoughts,
Adonai would not have listened.
¹⁹ But in fact, God did listen;
he paid attention to my prayer.
²⁰ Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer
or turn his grace away from me.
