[1] To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all ye lands:
[2] Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.
[3] Say to God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit themselves to thee.
[4] All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing to thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
[5] Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing towards the children of men.
[6] He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there we rejoiced in him.
[7] He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
[8] O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
[9] Who 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 hast brought us into the net; thou hast laid affliction 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 go 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 trouble.
[15] I will offer to thee burnt-sacrifices 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 to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
[18] If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
[19] But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
[20] Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
