Holman Christian Standard BibleInternational Standard Version
1For the choir director. A song. A psalm. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth! 1Shout praise to God all the earth!
2Sing about the glory of His name; make His praise glorious. 2Sing praise about the glory of his name. Make his praise glorious.
3Say to God, "How awe-inspiring are Your works! Your enemies will cringe before You because of Your great strength. 3Say to God: "How awesome are your works! Because of your great strength your enemies cringe before you."
4All the earth will worship You and sing praise to You. They will sing praise to Your name." Selah 4The whole earth worships you. They sing praise to you. They sing praise to your name. Interlude
5Come and see the wonders of God; His acts for humanity are awe-inspiring. 5Come and see the awesome works of God on behalf of human beings:
6He turned the sea into dry land, and they crossed the river on foot. There we rejoiced in Him. 6He turned the sea into dry land. Israel crossed the river on foot; let us rejoice in him.
7He rules forever by His might; He keeps His eye on the nations. The rebellious should not exalt themselves. Selah 7He rules by his power forever, his eyes watching over the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Interlude
8Praise our God, you peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard. 8Bless our God, people, and let the sound of his praise be heard.
9He keeps us alive and does not allow our feet to slip. 9He gives us life and does not permit our feet to slip.
10For You, God, tested us; You refined us as silver is refined. 10For you, God, tested us, to purify us like fine silver.
11You lured us into a trap; You placed burdens on our backs. 11You have led us into a trap and set burdens on our backs.
12You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us out to abundance. 12You caused men to ride over us. You brought us through fire and water, but you led us to abundance.
13I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows 13I will come to your house with burnt offerings. I will fulfill my vows to you
14that my lips promised and my mouth spoke during my distress. 14that my lips uttered and that my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
15I will offer You fattened sheep as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will sacrifice oxen with goats. Selah 15I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat, along with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams. I will offer bulls along with goats. Interlude
16Come and listen, all who fear God, and I will tell what He has done for me. 16Come and listen, all of you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me.
17I cried out to Him with my mouth, and praise was on my tongue. 17I called aloud to him and praised him with my tongue.
18If I had been aware of malice in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. 18Were I to cherish iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not listen to me.
19However, God has listened; He has paid attention to the sound of my prayer. 19Surely God has heard, and he paid attention to my prayers.
20May God be praised! He has not turned away my prayer or turned His faithful love from me. 20Blessed be God, who did not turn away my prayers nor his gracious love from me.
