^{1 Ref} <To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm.> Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:

^{2 Ref} Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.

^{3 Ref} Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.

^{4 Ref} Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah.)

^{5 Ref} Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.

^{6 Ref} The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.

^{7 Ref} He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.)

^{8 Ref} Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;

^{9 Ref} Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

^{10 Ref} For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

^{11 Ref} You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.

^{12 Ref} You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.

^{13 Ref} I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,

^{14 Ref} Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.

^{15 Ref} I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah.)

^{16 Ref} Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.

^{17 Ref} My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.

^{18 Ref} I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:

^{19 Ref} But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.

^{20 Ref} Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.
