1Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;*

2sing the glory of his name;

give to him glorious praise.*

3Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!

Because of your great power, your enemies cringe before you.*

4All the earth worships you;

they sing praises to you,

sing praises to your name.”   Selah*

5Come and see what God has done:

he is awesome in his deeds among mortals.*

6He turned the sea into dry land;

they passed through the river on foot.

There we rejoiced in him,*

7who rules by his might forever,

whose eyes keep watch on the nations—

let the rebellious not exalt themselves.   Selah*

8Bless our God, O peoples;

let the sound of his praise be heard,*

9who has kept us among the living

and has not let our feet slip.*

10For you, O God, have tested us;

you have tried us as silver is tried.*

11You brought us into the net;

you laid burdens on our backs;*

12you let people ride over our heads;

we went through fire and through water;

yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.b^,*

13I will come into your house with burnt offerings;

I will pay you my vows,*

14those that my lips uttered

and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.*

15I will offer to you burnt offerings of fatted calves,

with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;

I will make an offering of bulls and goats.   Selah*

16Come and hear, all you who fear God,

and I will tell what he has done for me.*

17I cried aloud to him,

and he was extolled with my tongue.

18If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened.*

19But truly God has listened;

he has heard the words of my prayer.*

20Blessed be God,

who has not rejected my prayer

or removed his steadfast love from me.*
