1 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;

2 Sing out the glory of his name;

make his praise glorious.

3 Say to God, “How terrifying are your deeds!

By the greatness of your power your enemies will submit to you.

4 All the earth will worship you

and will sing to you;

they will sing to your name.”

5 Come and see the works of God;

he is fearsome in his deeds toward the sons of mankind.

6 He turned the sea into dry land;

they went through the river on foot;

there we rejoiced in him.

7 He rules forever by his might;

his eyes observe the nations;

let not the rebellious exalt themselves.

8 Give blessing to God, you people,

let the sound of his praise be heard.

9 He keeps us among the living,

and he does not permit our feet to slip.

10 For you, God, have tested us;

you have tested us as silver is tested.

11 You brought us into a net;

you laid a heavy burden on our backs.

12 You made people ride over our heads;

we went through fire and water,

but you brought us out into a spacious place.

13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings;

I will pay you my vows

14 which my lips promised

and my mouth spoke when I was in distress.

15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals

with the sweet aroma of rams;

I will offer bulls and goats.

16 Come and listen, all you who fear God,

and I will declare what he has done for my soul.

17 I cried to him with my mouth,

and he was praised with my tongue.

18 If I had seen sin within my heart,

the Lord would not have listened to me.

19 But God has truly heard;

he has paid attention to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,

who has not turned away my prayer

or his covenant faithfulness from me.
