[For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection.]
[1] Shout unto God, all the earth.
[2] O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.
[3] Say unto God, How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee.
[4] Let all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee; let them sing to thy name. Pause.
[5] Come and behold the works of God; he is terrible in his counsels beyond the children of men.
[6] Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,
[7] who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves. Pause.
[8] Bless our God, ye Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
[9] who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.
[10] For thou, O God, has proved us; thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried.
[11] Thou broughtest us into the snare; thou laidest afflictions on our back.
[12] Thou didst mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but thou broughtest us out into a place of refreshment.
[13] I will go into thine house with whole-burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,
[14] which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.
[15] I will offer to thee whole-burnt-sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to thee oxen with goats. Pause.
[16] Come, hear, and I will tell, all ye that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.
[17] I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.
[18] If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord hearken to me.
[19] Therefore God has hearkened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
[20] Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
