3 Say to God, How terrible thy works! in the multitude of thy strength thine enemies shall lie to thee. Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!

4 All the earth shall worship to thee, and they shall play on the harp to thee; they shall play on the harp to thy name. Silence. All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” Selah All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing the praises of your name.”
5 Come and see ye the works of God: terrible the doing upon the sons of man. Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind!

8 Ye peoples bless our God, and cause the voice of his praise to be heard. Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard, Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;

10 For thou didst try us, O God, thou didst prove us as purifying of silver. For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver.
11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou didst set a heavy burden upon our loins. You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.
12 Thou didst cause men to ride upon our head; we went through fire and through water: and thou wilt bring us forth to abundance. you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance. You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.
13 I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings: I will repay to thee my vows, I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will perform my vows to you, I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you—
14 Which my lips opened and my month spake in straits to me. that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble. vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
15 I will bring up to thee burnt-offerings of marrows with incense of rams; I will do oxen with he goats. Silence. I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals, with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams; I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.
16 Come, hear, and I will recount, all ye fearing God, what he did for my soul. Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. Come and hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.
17 I called to him with my mouth, and he was lifted up under my tongue. I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on my tongue. I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I saw vanity in my heart, Jehovah will not hear. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;
19 Surely God heard; he attended upon the voice of my prayer. But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer.
20 Praised be God who turned not away my prayer, and his mercy from me. Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me! Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
