1For the choirmaster. A song. A psalm. Shout for joy to God, all the earth!
2Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.
3Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Because of the greatness of your strength your enemies cringe before you.
4All the earth bows down to you and sings praise to you; they sing praise to your name.” Selah.
5Come and see the works of God, awesome in his dealing with the children of humankind.
6He turned the sea into dry land; they crossed through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him.
7He rules by his might forever; his eyes keep watch over the nations. Let the rebellious not exalt themselves. Selah.
8Bless our God, O peoples, and make the sound of his praise be heard.
9He is the one who has kept our life among the living and has not let our foot slip.
10For you tested us, O God; you refined us as silver is refined.
11You brought us into the net; you laid a heavy burden on our backs.
12You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water, but you brought us out to abundance.
13I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows,
14which my lips uttered and my mouth spoke when I was in distress.
15I will offer up to you burnt offerings of fatlings, with the smoke of rams; I will prepare cattle with male goats. Selah.
16Come, hear, all you who fear God, and I will recount what he has done for my life.
17To him I called out with my mouth, and high praise was under my tongue.
18If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
19But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer or his loyal love from me.
