Praise for God’s Mighty Deeds and for His Answer to Prayer

For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm.


[1]	MAKE a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:
[2]	Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious.
[3]	Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit 1 themselves unto thee.
[4]	All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. [Selah
[5]	Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
[6]	He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did 2 we rejoice in him.
[7]	He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah
[8]	Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;
[9]	Who holdeth 3 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 broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.
[12]	Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a 4 wealthy place.
[13]	I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,
[14]	Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.
[15]	I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings 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 unto him with my mouth, And he 5 was extolled with my tongue.
[18]	If I regard 6 iniquity in my heart, The Lord will 7 not hear:
[19]	But verily 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 lovingkindness from me.
