661 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: 2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. 3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit [1] themselves unto thee. 4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. 5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. 6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. 7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: 9 Which holdeth [2] our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. 10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. 11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. 12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy [3] place.
13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, 14 Which my lips have uttered, [4] and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. 15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, [5] with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. 16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. 17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: 19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
661 Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! 2 Sing to the glory of his name!
Offer glory and praise! 3 Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds!
Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you. 4 All the earth will worship you,
and will sing to you;
they will sing to your name.” Selah. 5 Come, and see God’s deeds—
awesome work on behalf of the children of men. 6 He turned the sea into dry land.
They went through the river on foot.
There, we rejoiced in him. 7 He rules by his might forever.
His eyes watch the nations.
Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.
8 Praise our God, you peoples!
Make the sound of his praise heard, 9 who preserves our life among the living,
and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved. 10 For you, God, have tested us.
You have refined us, as silver is refined. 11 You brought us into prison.
You laid a burden on our backs. 12 You allowed men to ride over our heads.
We went through fire and through water,
but you brought us to the place of abundance.
13 I will come into your temple with burnt offerings.
I will pay my vows to you, 14 which my lips promised,
and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress. 15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals,
with the offering of rams,
I will offer bulls with goats. Selah. 16 Come, and hear, all you who fear God.
I will declare what he has done for my soul. 17 I cried to him with my mouth.
He was extolled with my tongue. 18 If I cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord wouldn’t have listened. 19 But most certainly, God has listened.
He has heard the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer,
nor his loving kindness from me.
661 Shout aloud unto God, all the earth: 2 Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious; 3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee. 4 All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah. 5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in [his] doings toward the children of men. 6 He turned the sea into dry [land]; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him. 7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8 Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard; 9 Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. 10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. 11 Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins; 12 Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.
13 I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee, 14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. 15 I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. 16 Come, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. 17 I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. 18 Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear. 19 But God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!
