[1]Rejoice in God, all ye inhabitants of the earth.
[2]Sing forth the glory of his name: make his praise glorious.
[3]Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies be in subjection unto thee.
[4]All the world shall worship thee, and sing unto thee, even sing of thy name. Selah.
[5]Come and behold the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the sons of men.
[6]He hath turned the sea into dry land: they pass through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
[7]He ruleth the world with his power: his eyes behold the nations: the rebellious shall not exalt themselves. Selah.
[8]Praise our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard.
[9]Which holdeth our souls in life, and suffereth not our feet to slip.
[10]For thou, O God, hast proved us, thou hast tried us as silver is tried.
[11]Thou hast brought us into the snare, and laid a strait chain upon our loins.
[12]Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads: we went into fire and into water, but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
[13]I will go into thine house with burnt offerings, and will pay thee my vows,
[14]Which my lips have promised, and my mouth hath spoken in mine affliction.
[15]I will offer unto thee burnt offerings of fat rams with incense: I will prepare bullocks and goats. Selah.
[16]Come and hearken, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what he hath done to my soul.
[17]I called unto him with my mouth, and he was exalted with my tongue.
[18]If I regard wickedness in mine heart, the Lord will not hear me.
[19]But God, hath heard me, and considered the voice of my prayer.
[20]Praised be God, which hath not put back my praise, nor his mercy from me.
