¹ Shout out praise to God, all the earth! ² Sing praises about the majesty of his reputation! Give him the honor he deserves! ³ Say to God: "How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power your enemies cower in fear before you. ⁴ All the earth worships you and sings praises to you! They sing praises to your name!" (Selah) ⁵ Come and witness God's exploits! His acts on behalf of people are awesome! ⁶ He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. Let us rejoice in him there! ⁷ He rules by his power forever; he watches the nations. Stubborn rebels should not exalt themselves. (Selah) ⁸ Praise our God, you nations! Loudly proclaim his praise! ⁹ He preserves our lives and does not allow our feet to slip. ¹⁰ For you, O God, tested us; you purified us like refined silver. ¹¹ You led us into a trap; you caused us to suffer. ¹² You allowed men to ride over our heads; we passed through fire and water, but you brought us out into a wide open place. ¹³ I will enter your temple with burnt sacrifices; I will fulfill the vows I made to you, ¹⁴ which my lips uttered and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble. ¹⁵ 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) ¹⁶ Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God! I will declare what he has done for me. ¹⁷ I cried out to him for help and praised him with my tongue. ¹⁸ If I had harbored sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. ¹⁹ However, God heard; he listened to my prayer. ²⁰ God deserves praise, for he did not reject my prayer or abandon his love for me!
