For the music director: a song, a psalm.

Shout with joy to God, everyone!

Sing about the glory of God’s Name

and give glorious praise.

Say to God: “Your deeds are awesome!

Your enemies cower before You

because of Your great power.

Everyone bows down to You

and sings Your praises to Your name.”

Selah

Come and see the wonders God has done,

awesome deeds for the children of Adam!

God transformed the sea into dry land

so people could cross the river on foot.

Let us rejoice in God there!

God rules forever by God‘s might.

God keeps an eye on the nations.

Let no rebellious person exalt.

Selah

Praise our God, all peoples.

Make a loud sound with your praise.

God has preserved our lives

and has not let us mis-step.

O God – You have tested us

– as silver is refined You have purified us.

You gathered us in a net

and placed burdens on our backs.

You made people ride over our heads.

We went through fire and water

yet You brought us out

to a place of satisfaction.

I will come to Your House with burnt offerings

to fulfill the vows my lips uttered to You

when I was in trouble.

I will present burnt offerings

of fat animals to You

along with the sweet smell of rams.

I will offer oxen with goats.

Selah

Come and listen,

everyone who is in awe of God.

I will tell you what God has done for my soul.

With my mouth I cried out to God,

with my tongue I exalted.

If in my heart I cherished iniquity

the Lord would not have listened.

But God has surely heard and listened

to my voice in prayer.

Blessed to be God

who has not rejected my prayer

or withheld God’s lovingkindness from me.
