To the Overseer.—A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth. |
2
|
Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise. |
3
|
Say to God, 'How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee. |
4
|
All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah. |
5
|
Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men. |
6
|
He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him. |
7
|
Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah. |
8
|
Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise, |
9
|
Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved. |
10
|
For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver. |
11
|
Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins. |
12
|
Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place. |
13
|
I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows, |
14
|
For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress: |
15
|
'Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah. |
16
|
Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul. |
17
|
Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue. |
18
|
Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear. |
19
|
But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. |
20
|
Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me! |
