¹ Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth;² Praise ye in song the glory of his Name, Celebrate the glory of his praise:³ Say unto God - How fearful in thy doings, Through the abounding of thy power, shall thy foes come cringing unto thee;⁴ All the earth, shall bow themselves down to thee, And sing praises unto thee,. Shall praise in song thy Name. Selah.⁵ Come and see the doings of God, - Fearful in deed toward the sons of men:⁶ He turned the sea into dry land, Through the stream, crossed they over on foot, There did we rejoice in him:⁷ Who ruleth, in his might, unto times age abiding, His eyes, over the nations, keep watch, The rebellious, let them not exalt themselves. Selah.

⁸ Bless our God, O ye peoples, And cause to he heard, the sound of his praise; - ⁹ Who hath set our soul among the living, And hath not suffered, our foot, to slip.¹⁰ For thou didst prove us, O God, Thou didst refine us, according to the refining of silver:¹¹ Thou didst bring us into the hunter's net, Thou didst lay a load upon our loins;¹² Thou didst let men ride at our head; We went into fire and into water, But thou didst bring us forth into freedom.

¹³ I will enter thy house with ascending-sacrifices, I will pay unto thee my vows,¹⁴ Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, in my distress.¹⁵ Ascending-sacrifices of fatlings, will I cause to ascend unto thee, With the perfume of rams, I will offer bulls, with he-goats. Selah.¹⁶ Come! hearken - that I may recount, all ye reverers of God, What he hath done for my soul: - ¹⁷ Unto him - with my mouth, did I cry, And high praise was under my tongue.¹⁸ If, iniquity, I had cared for in my heart, My Lord, had not heard me!¹⁹ But in truth, God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.²⁰ Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his own lovingkindness from me.
