Make a Joyful Noise

1(65:1) For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection. Shout unto God, all the earth.

2(65:2) O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.

3(65:3) Say unto God, How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee.

4(65:4) Let all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee; let them sing to thy name. Pause.

5(65:5) Come and behold the works of God; he is terrible in his counsels beyond the children of men.

6(65:6) Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,

7(65:7) who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves. Pause.

8(65:8) Bless our God, ye Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

9(65:9) who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.

10(65:10) For thou, O God, has proved us; thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried.

11(65:11) Thou broughtest us into the snare; thou laidest afflictions on our back.

12(65:12) Thou didst mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but thou broughtest us out into a place of refreshment.

13(65:13) I will go into thine house with whole-burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,

14(65:14) which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.

15(65:15) I will offer to thee whole-burnt-sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to thee oxen with goats. Pause.

16(65:16) Come, hear, and I will tell, all ye that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.

17(65:17) I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.

18(65:18) If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord hearken to me.

19(65:19) Therefore God has hearkened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20(65:20) Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
