The Book of Psalms

[To the chief musician. A Song. A Psalm.] Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;

Sing out the honor of His name; give glory to His praise.

Say to God, How fearful [are] Your works! Through the greatness of Your power, Your enemies pretend obedience to You.

All the earth shall worship You; and they sing [to] You; they praise Your name. Selah.

Come and see God's works, who is awesome in His acts toward the sons of men.

He rules by His power forever; His eyes search out the nations; let not the rebels exalt themselves. Selah.

Bless our God, O peoples, and make heard the voice of His praise;

Who holds our soul in life and does not allow our foot to slide.

For You, O God, have proved us; You have tested us as silver is refined.

You have brought us into the net; You laid afflictions on our loins.

You have let men ride at our head; we went through fire and through water, but You brought us out to plenty.

I will go into Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows,

which my lips have opened, and my mouth has spoken in my trouble.

I will offer burnt sacrifices of fatlings to You, with the incense of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.

Come, hear, and let me tell, all you who fear God, what He has done for my soul.

I cried to Him with my mouth, and exaltations [were] under my tongue.

If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, Jehovah would not have heard.

Surely, God has heard; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

Blessed [be] God, who has not turned away my prayer and His mercy from me!
