New King James Version | New Living Translation |
1To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm. Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! | 1Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth! |
2Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious. | 2Sing about the glory of his name! Tell the world how glorious he is. |
3Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You. | 3Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Your enemies cringe before your mighty power. |
4All the earth shall worship You And sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah | 4Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs.” Interlude |
5Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men. | 5Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people! |
6He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot. There we will rejoice in Him. | 6He made a dry path through the Red Sea, and his people went across on foot. There we rejoiced in him. |
7He rules by His power forever; His eyes observe the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah | 7For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance. Interlude |
8Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard, | 8Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing his praises. |
9Who keeps our soul among the living, And does not allow our feet to be moved. | 9Our lives are in his hands, and he keeps our feet from stumbling. |
10For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined. | 10You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver. |
11You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs. | 11You captured us in your net and laid the burden of slavery 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. | 12Then you put a leader over us. We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance. |
13I will go into Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows, | 13Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings to fulfill the vows I made to you— |
14Which my lips have uttered And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble. | 14yes, the sacred vows that I made when I was in deep trouble. |
15I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals, With the sweet aroma of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. Selah | 15That is why I am sacrificing burnt offerings to you— the best of my rams as a pleasing aroma, and a sacrifice of bulls and male goats. Interlude |
16Come and hear, all you who fear God, And I will declare what He has done for my soul. | 16Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me. |
17I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue. | 17For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke. |
18If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear. | 18If I had not confessed the 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 did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. |
20Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me! | 20Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me. |
