Psalms

To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth.

Sing forth the honor of His name; make His praise glorious.

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

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

Come and see the works of God; [He is] awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

He turns the sea into dry [land]; they went through the flood on foot; there we rejoiced in Him.

He rules by His power forever; His eyes behold the nations; let not the rebels lift themselves up. Selah.

O bless our God, O peoples, and make the voice of His praise to be heard;

who holds our soul in life, and does not allow our feet to slide.

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

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

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

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

[those] which my lips have uttered and my mouth has spoken in my trouble.

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

Come [and] hear, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul.

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

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not hear;

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

Blessed [is] God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.
