^{1 Ref} To the Overseer. -- A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.

^{2 Ref} Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.

^{3 Ref} Say to God, `How fearful `are' Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

^{4 Ref} All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.

^{5 Ref} Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.

^{6 Ref} He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.

^{7 Ref} Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.

^{8 Ref} Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,

^{9 Ref} Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.

^{10 Ref} For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

^{11 Ref} Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.

^{12 Ref} Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.

^{13 Ref} I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

^{14 Ref} For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:

^{15 Ref} `Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.

^{16 Ref} Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

^{17 Ref} Unto Him `with' my mouth I have called, And exaltation `is' under my tongue.

^{18 Ref} Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.

^{19 Ref} But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

^{20 Ref} Blessed `is' God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!

^{1 Ref} > Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!

^{2 Ref} Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!

^{3 Ref} Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.

^{4 Ref} All the earth will worship you, And will sing to you; They will sing to your name." Selah.

^{5 Ref} Come, and see God's deeds-- Awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

^{6 Ref} He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.

^{7 Ref} He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don't let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.

^{8 Ref} Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard,

^{9 Ref} Who preserves our life among the living, And doesn't allow our feet to be moved.

^{10 Ref} For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.

^{11 Ref} You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.

^{12 Ref} You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, But you brought us to the place of abundance.

^{13 Ref} I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,

^{14 Ref} which my lips promised, And my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.

^{15 Ref} I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, With the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.

^{16 Ref} Come, and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.

^{17 Ref} I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.

^{18 Ref} If I cherished sin in my heart, The Lord wouldn't have listened.

^{19 Ref} But most assuredly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.

^{20 Ref} Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, Nor his loving kindness from me.
