¹ To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all ye lands:² Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.³ Say to God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit themselves to thee.⁴ All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing to thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. Selah.⁵ Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his] doing towards the children of men.⁶ He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the flood on foot: there we rejoiced in him.⁷ He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

⁸ O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:⁹ Who 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 hast brought us into the net; thou hast laid affliction 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 go 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 trouble.¹⁵ I will offer to thee burnt-sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.¹⁶ Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.¹⁷ I cried to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.¹⁸ If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me]:¹⁹ [But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.²⁰ Blessed [be] God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
