• Praise for God’s Mighty Deeds and for His Answer to Prayer.

  • 1 Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;
  • 2 Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious.
  • 3 Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will pretend to obey You.
  • 4 “All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name.” Selah
  • 5 Come and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of mankind.
  • 6 He turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river on foot; Let’s rejoice there, in Him!
  • 7 He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; The rebellious shall not exalt themselves! Selah
  • 8 Bless our God, you peoples, And sound His praise abroad,
  • 9 Who keeps us in life, And does not allow our feet to slip.
  • 10 For You have put us to the test, God; You have refined us as silver is refined.
  • 11 You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon us.
  • 12 You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water. Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.
  • 13 I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows,
  • 14 Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.
  • 15 I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat animals, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah
  • 16 Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.
  • 17 I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was exalted with my tongue.
  • 18 If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear;
  • 19 But God has heard; He has given attention to the sound of my prayer.
  • 20 Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His favor from me.
