1<> Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands!
2Sing forth the honor of His name; make His praise glorious.
3Say unto God, "How fearsome art Thou in Thy works! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies submit themselves unto Thee.
4All the earth shall worship Thee and shall sing unto Thee; they shall sing to Thy name." Selah
5Come and see the works of God; He is fearsome in His doings toward the children of men.
6He turned the sea into dry land, they went through the flood on foot; there did we rejoice in Him.
7He ruleth by His power for ever, His eyes behold the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8O bless our God, ye people; and make the voice of His praise to be heard,
9who holdeth our soul in life and alloweth not our feet to be moved.
10For Thou, O God, hast tried us; Thou hast tried us as silver is tried.
11Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
12Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water, but Thou broughtest us out into a fruitful place.
13I will go into Thy house with burnt offerings; I will pay Thee my vows,
14which my lips have uttered and my mouth hath spoken when I was in trouble.
15I will offer unto Thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks and goats. Selah
16Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul.
17I cried unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.
18If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.
19But verily God hath heard me; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me!
