¹ Everything on earth, shout with joy to God!
² Sing about his glory!
    Make his praise glorious!
³ Say to God, "Your works are amazing!
    Because your power is great,
    your enemies fall before you.
⁴ All the earth worships you
    and sings praises to you.
    They sing praises to your name." Selah

⁵ Come and see what God has done,
    the amazing things he has done for people.
⁶ He turned the sea into dry land.
    The people crossed the river on foot.
    So let us rejoice because of what he did.
⁷ He rules forever with his power.
    He keeps his eye on the nations,
    so people should not turn against him. Selah

⁸ You people, praise our God;
    loudly sing his praise.
⁹ He protects our lives
    and does not let us be defeated.
¹⁰ God, you have tested us;
    you have purified us like silver.
¹¹ You let us be trapped
    and put a heavy load on us.
¹² You let our enemies walk on our heads.
    We went through fire and flood,
    but you brought us to a place with good things.

¹³ I will come to your Temple with burnt offerings.
    I will give you what I promised,
¹⁴ things I promised when I was in trouble.
¹⁵ I will bring you offerings of fat animals,
    and I will offer sheep, bulls, and goats. Selah

¹⁶ All of you who fear God, come and listen,
    and I will tell you what he has done for me.
¹⁷ I cried out to him with my mouth
    and praised him with my tongue.
¹⁸ If I had known of any sin in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened to me.
¹⁹ But God has listened;
    he has heard my prayer.
²⁰ Praise God,
    who did not ignore my prayer
    or hold back his love from me.
