The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1Shout with joy to Elohim, All the earth! 2Sing out the splendour of His Name; Make His praise esteemed. 3Say to Elohim, “How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies pretend obedience to You. 4“All the earth bow to You, They sing praises to You, They praise Your Name.” Selah. 5Come and see the works of Elohim, Awesome acts toward the sons of men. 6He has turned the sea into dry land, They went through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in Him, 7Who rules by His power forever; His eyes keeping watch on the gentiles; Let the rebellious not exalt themselves. Selah. 8Bless our Elohim, you peoples! And sound His praise abroad, 9Who keeps us in life, And does not allow our feet to be moved. 10For You, O Elohim, have proved us; You have refined us as silver is refined. 11You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our loins. 12You have let men ride at our head; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to plenty. 13I enter Your house with burnt offerings; I complete my vows to You, 14That which my lips have uttered And my mouth spoke in my distress. 15Burnt offerings of fatlings I offer to You, With the incense of rams; I offer bulls with goats. Selah. 16Come, hear, all you who fear Elohim, And I relate what He has done for my being. 17I called to Him with my mouth, And praise was in my tongue. 18If I have seen wickedness in my heart, יהוה would not hear. 19Truly, Elohim has heard me; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. 20Blessed be Elohim, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His kindness from me! |
