King James Version

2

Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

3

Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

4

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

5

Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

6

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

7

He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

8

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

9

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11

Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

12

Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13

I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

14

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15

I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

16

Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17

I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

18

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

19

But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20

Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

    “Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious. Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. [Selah Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him. He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard; Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved. For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins. Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows, Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress. I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. [Selah Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul. I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear: But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me. ”

    “Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise! Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you. All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name." Selah. Come, and see God's deeds-- awesome work on behalf of the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him. He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don't let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah. Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard, who preserves our life among the living, and doesn't allow our feet to be moved. For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined. You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs. You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance. I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you, which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress. I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah. Come, and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul. I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue. If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn't have listened. But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me. For the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song.”

    “Sing praises about the majesty of his reputation! Give him the honor he deserves! Say to God:“How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power your enemies cower in fear before you. All the earth worships you and sings praises to you! They sing praises to your name!”(Selah) Come and witness God’s exploits! His acts on behalf of people are awesome! He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. Let us rejoice in him there! He rules by his power forever; he watches the nations. Stubborn rebels should not exalt themselves.(Selah) Praise our God, you nations! Loudly proclaim his praise! He preserves our lives and does not allow our feet to slip. For you, O God, tested us; you purified us like refined silver. You led us into a trap; you caused us to suffer. You allowed men to ride over our heads; we passed through fire and water, but you brought us out into a wide open place. I will enter your temple with burnt sacrifices; I will fulfill the vows I made to you, which my lips uttered and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble. I will offer up to you fattened animals as burnt sacrifices, along with the smell of sacrificial rams. I will offer cattle and goats.(Selah) Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God! I will declare what he has done for me. I cried out to him for help and praised him with my tongue. If I had harbored sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. However, God heard; he listened to my prayer. God deserves praise, for he did not reject my prayer or abandon his love for me!”

    “May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us. That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations. Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee. Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth. Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee: The earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us, May God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him. ”

    “Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him. Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet. Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah.) Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men. The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him. He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.) Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud; Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved. For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver. You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs. You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place. I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you, Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble. I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah.) Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul. My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld. I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me: But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer. Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.”
