World English Bible
1For the Leader. A Song, a Psalm. Shout unto God, all the earth;
1Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2Sing praises unto the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.
2Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!
3Say unto God: 'How tremendous is Thy work! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies dwindle away before Thee.
3Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.
4All the earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing praises unto Thee; they shall sing praises to Thy name.' Selah
4All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” Selah.
5Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men.
5Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
6He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there let us rejoice in Him!
6He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.
7Who ruleth by His might for ever; His eyes keep watch upon the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
7He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.
8Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of His praise to be heard;
8Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard,
9Who hath set our soul in life, and suffered not our foot to be moved,
9who preserves our life among the living, and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.
10For Thou, O God, hast tried us; Thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.
10For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.
11Thou didst bring us into the hold; Thou didst lay constraint upon our loins.
11You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.
12Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but Thou didst bring us out unto abundance.
12You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.
13I will come into Thy house with burnt-offerings, I will perform unto Thee my vows,
13I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,
14Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.
14which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
15I will offer unto Thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, with the sweet smoke of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah
15I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.
16Come, and hearken, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul.
16Come and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17I cried unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.
17I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
18If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear;
18If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.
19But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
19But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.
20Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.
20Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.
