¹ Everything on earth, shout with joy to God!
² Praise his glorious name!
    Honor him with songs of praise!
³ Tell God, "Your works are wonderful!
    Your great power makes your enemies bow down in fear before you.
⁴ Let the whole world worship you.
    Let everyone sing praises to your name." Selah

⁵ Look at what God has done!
    These things amaze us.
⁶ He changed the sea to dry land,^[a]
    and his people went across the water^[b] on foot.
    So let's celebrate because of what he has done!
⁷ He rules the world with his great power.
    He watches people everywhere.
    No one can rebel against him. Selah

⁸ People, praise our God.
    Sing loud songs of praise to him.
⁹ He continues to give us life,
    and he keeps us from falling.
¹⁰ God, you have tested us, as people test silver with fire.
¹¹ You let us be trapped.
    You put heavy burdens on us.
¹² You let our enemies run over us.
    We went through fire and water,
    but you brought us to a safe place.^13-14 So I bring sacrifices to your Temple.
When I was in trouble, I asked for help
    and made promises to you.
Now I am giving you what I promised.<
¹⁵     I bring my best sheep as burnt offerings.
I offer the smoke from them up to you.
    I give you sacrifices of bulls and goats. Selah

¹⁶ All you people who worship God,
    come and I will tell you what he has done for me.^17-18 I cried out to him for help,
    and I praised him.
If I had been hiding sin in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened to me.<
¹⁹ But God did listen to me;
    he heard my prayer.
²⁰ Praise God!
    He did not turn away from me—he listened to my prayer.
    He continues to show his love to me!
