Come and See the Works of God

For the choir director. A Song. A Psalm.

1Make a loud shout to God, all the earth;

2Sing praise for the glory of His name;

Establish His praise as glorious.

3Say to God, “How [†]fearsome are Your works!

Because of the abundance of Your strength Your enemies will [†]cower before You.

4All the earth will worship You,

And will sing praises to You;

They will sing praises to Your name.” [†]Selah.

5Come and see the works of God,

Who is fearsome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

6He turned the sea into dry land;

They passed through the river on foot;

There let us be glad in Him!

7He rules by His might forever;

His eyes keep watch on the nations;

Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

8Bless our God, O peoples,

And [†]make the sound of His praise heard,

9Who [†]establishes us among the living

And does not allow our feet to stumble.

10For You have tested us, O God;

You have refined us as silver is refined.

11You brought us into the net;

You established an oppressive burden upon our loins.

12You made men ride over our heads;

We went through fire and through water,

Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.

13I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings;

I shall pay You my vows,

14Which my lips uttered

And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.

15I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts,

With the smoke of rams;

I shall make an offering of [†]bulls with male goats. Selah.

16Come and hear, all who [†]fear God,

And I will recount what He has done for my soul.

17I called out to Him with my mouth,

And [†]He was exalted with my tongue.

18If I [†]see wickedness in my heart,

The Lord [†]will not [†]hear;

19But certainly God has heard;

He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

20Blessed be God,

Who has not turned away my prayer

Nor His lovingkindness from me.
