Praise for God’s Mighty Deeds and for His Answer to Prayer.
For the choir director. A Song. A Psalm.
AShout joyfully to God, all the earth;
Sing the Aglory of His name;
Make His Bpraise glorious.
Say to God, “How Aawesome are Your works!
Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will 1Bgive feigned obedience to You.
AAll the earth will worship You,
And will Bsing praises to You;
They will sing praises to Your name.” 1
Selah.
ACome and see the works of God,
Who is Bawesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.
He Aturned the sea into dry land;
They passed through Bthe river on foot;
There let us Crejoice in Him!
He Arules by His might forever;
His Beyes keep watch on the nations;
Let not the rebellious Cexalt themselves.
Selah.
Bless our God, O peoples,
And 1Asound His praise abroad,
Who 1Akeeps us in life
And Bdoes not allow our feet to 2slip.
10 For You have Atried us, O God;
You have Brefined us as silver is refined.
11 You Abrought us into the net;
You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.
12 You made men Aride over our heads;
We went through Bfire and through water,
Yet You Cbrought us out into a place of abundance.
13 I shall Acome into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall Bpay You my vows,
14  Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke when I was Ain distress.
15 I shall Aoffer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts,
With the smoke of Brams;
I shall make an offering of 1bulls with male goats.
Selah.
16  ACome and hear, all who 1fear God,
And I will Btell of what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And 1He was Aextolled with my tongue.
18  If I 1Aregard wickedness in my heart,
The BLord 2will not 3hear;
19 But certainly AGod has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
20  ABlessed be God,
Who Bhas not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.
