| 1Let the whole earth shout joyfully to God! | 1For the choir director. A Song. A Psalm. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth; |
| 2Sing about the glory of his name; make his praise glorious. | 2Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious. |
| 3Say to God, "How awe-inspiring are your works! Your enemies will cringe before you because of your great strength. | 3Say to God, "How awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will give feigned obedience to You. |
| 4The whole earth will worship you and sing praise to you. They will sing praise to your name." Selah | 4"All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name." Selah. |
| 5Come and see the wonders of God; his acts for humanity are awe-inspiring. | 5Come and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men. |
| 6He turned the sea into dry land, and they crossed the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him. | 6He turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river on foot; There let us rejoice in Him! |
| 7He rules forever by his might; he keeps his eye on the nations. The rebellious should not exalt themselves. Selah | 7He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. |
| 8Bless our God, you peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard. | 8Bless our God, O peoples, And sound His praise abroad, |
| 9He keeps us alive and does not allow our feet to slip. | 9Who keeps us in life And does not allow our feet to slip. |
| 10For you, God, tested us; you refined us as silver is refined. | 10For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined. |
| 11You lured us into a trap; you placed burdens on our backs. | 11You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins. |
| 12You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us out to abundance. | 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 will enter your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows | 13I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows, |
| 14that my lips promised and my mouth spoke during my distress. | 14Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress. |
| 15I will offer you fattened sheep as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will sacrifice bulls with goats. Selah | 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 listen, all who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me. | 16Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul. |
| 17I cried out to him with my mouth, and praise was on my tongue. | 17I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue. |
| 18If I had been aware of malice in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. | 18If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear; |
| 19However, God has listened; he has paid attention to the sound of my prayer. | 19But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. |
| 20Blessed be God! He has not turned away my prayer or turned his faithful love from me. | 20Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me. |
