| 1 | Be joyful in God, all you lands; * sing the glory of his Name; sing the glory of his praise. |
| 2 | Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! * because of your great strength your enemies cringe before you. |
| 3 | All the earth bows down before you, * sings to you, sings out your Name." |
| 4 | Come now and see the works of God, * how wonderful he is in his doing toward all people. |
| 5 | He turned the sea into dry land, so that they went through the water on foot, * and there we rejoiced in him. |
| 6 | In his might he rules for ever; his eyes keep watch over the nations; * let no rebel rise up against him. |
| 7 | Bless our God, you peoples; * make the voice of his praise to be heard; |
| 8 | Who holds our souls in life, * and will not allow our feet to slip. |
| 9 | For you, O God, have proved us; * you have tried us just as silver is tried. |
| 10 | You brought us into the snare; * you laid heavy burdens upon our backs. |
| 11 | You let enemies ride over our heads; we went through fire and water; * but you brought us out into a place of refreshment. |
| 12 | I will enter your house with burnt-offerings and will pay you my vows, * which I promised with my lips and spoke with my mouth when I was in trouble. |
| 13 | I will offer you sacrifices of fat beasts with the smoke of rams; * I will give you oxen and goats. |
| 14 | Come and listen, all you who fear God, * and I will tell you what he has done for me. |
| 15 | I called out to him with my mouth, * and his praise was on my tongue. |
| 16 | If I had found evil in my heart, * the Lord would not have heard me; |
| 17 | But in truth God has heard me; * he has attended to the voice of my prayer. |
| 18 | Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer, * nor withheld his love from me. |
