[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 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 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] O bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard.

[9] Which 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 broughtest us into the net; thou layedst a sore burden 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 come 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 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 was extolled with my tongue.

[18] If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear:

[19] But verily God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

[20] Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
