[1]MAKE a joyful noise unto God, all lands. [2]Sing the honor of his name; sing the honor of his majesty. [3]Say unto God, How wonderful are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. [4]All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thy name; they shall glorify thy name forever. [5]They shall say, Come and see the works of God; for his wonders are great toward the children of men. [6]He turns the sea into dry land: they crossed through the river on foot; there did we rejoice in him. [7]He rules by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [8]O bless our God, you people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard, [9]Who holds our soul in life, and suffers not our feet to be moved. [10]For thou, O God, hast proved us; thou hast tried us as silver is tried. [11]Thou didst bring us into the net; thou didst lay affliction upon our loins. [12]Thou hast caused us to be in servitude; we went through fire and through water; finally thou didst bring us out into a comfortable place. [13]I will go into thy house with gifts; I will pay thee my vows. [14]Which my lips have uttered and my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble. [15]I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the savour of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. [16]Come and hear, all you servants of God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul. [17]I cried to him with my mouth, and he has answered me; I extolled him with my tongue. [18]If thou behold iniquity in my heart, O LORD, deliver me not. [19]But verily God has heard me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. [20]Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer nor turned his mercy from me.
