3Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.

5Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.

5Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind!

6He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot. There we will rejoice in Him.

8Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;

9Who keeps our soul among the living, And does not allow our feet to be moved.

9he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.

10For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined.

10For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver.

11You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs.

11You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.

12You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

12You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.

13I will go into Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows,

13I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you--

14Which my lips have uttered And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.

14vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.

15I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals, With the sweet aroma of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. Selah

15I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.

16Come and hear, all you who fear God, And I will declare what He has done for my soul.

16Come and hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.

17I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue.

17I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.

18If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear.

18If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;

19But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

19but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer.

20Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me!

20Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
