1  [To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.]
   Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2  Sing forth the honour of his name:
   make his praise glorious.
3  Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! 
   through the greatness of thy power 
   shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4  All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; 
   they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
5  Come and see the works of God: 
   he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6  He turned the sea into dry land: 
   they went through the flood on foot: 
   there did we rejoice 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  Which 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 broughtest us into the net; 
   thou laidst 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 unto 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 unto 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, which hath not turned away my prayer, 
   nor his mercy from me.
