| 1For the choir director. A Song. A Psalm. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth; | 1Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth! |
| 2Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious. | 2Sing about the glory of his name! Tell the world how glorious he is. |
| 3Say to God, "How awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will give feigned obedience to You. | 3Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Your enemies cringe before your mighty power. |
| 4"All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name." Selah. | 4Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs.” Interlude |
| 5Come and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men. | 5Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people! |
| 6He turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river on foot; There let us rejoice in Him! | 6He made a dry path through the Red Sea, and his people went across on foot. There we rejoiced in him. |
| 7He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. | 7For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance. Interlude |
| 8Bless our God, O peoples, And sound His praise abroad, | 8Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing his praises. |
| 9Who keeps us in life And does not allow our feet to slip. | 9Our lives are in his hands, and he keeps our feet from stumbling. |
| 10For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined. | 10You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver. |
| 11You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins. | 11You captured us in your net and laid the burden of slavery on our backs. |
| 12You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance. | 12Then you put a leader over us. We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance. |
| 13I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows, | 13Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings to fulfill the vows I made to you— |
| 14Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress. | 14yes, the sacred vows that I made when I was in deep trouble. |
| 15I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah. | 15That is why I am sacrificing burnt offerings to you— the best of my rams as a pleasing aroma, and a sacrifice of bulls and male goats. Interlude |
| 16Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul. | 16Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me. |
| 17I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue. | 17For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke. |
| 18If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear; | 18If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. |
| 19But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. | 19But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. |
| 20Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me. | 20Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me. |
