1  ^bShout for joy to God, all the earth;

2  sing the glory of his name;

^cgive to him glorious praise!

3  Say to God, ^d“How awesome are your deeds!

So great is your power that your enemies ^ecome cringing to you.

4  ^fAll the earth worships you

and sings praises to you;

they sing praises to your name.” Selah

5  ^gCome and see what God has done:

^dhe is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.

6  He ^hturned the sea into dry land;

they ⁱpassed through the river on foot.

There did we rejoice in him,

7  who rules by his might forever,

whose ^jeyes keep watch on the nations—

let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

8  Bless our God, O peoples;

let the sound of his praise be heard,

9  who has kept our soul among the living

and ^khas not let our feet slip.

10  For you, O God, have ^ltested us;

you have tried us as silver is tried.

11  You brought us into ^mthe net;

you laid a crushing burden on our backs;

12  you let men ⁿride over our heads;

we went through fire and through ^owater;

yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

13  I will come into your house with burnt offerings;

I will ^pperform my vows to you,

14  that which my lips uttered

and my mouth promised ^qwhen I was in trouble.

15  I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,

with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;

I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

16  ^rCome and hear, all you who fear God,

and I will tell what he has done for my soul.

17  I cried to him with my mouth,

and high praise was on¹ my tongue.²

18  If I had ^scherished iniquity in my heart,

^tthe Lord would not have listened.

19  But truly ^uGod has listened;

he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20  Blessed be God,

because he has not rejected my prayer

or removed his steadfast love from me!

2  “I know that you can ^hdo all things,

and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

3  ⁱ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’

Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,

things ^jtoo wonderful for me, which I did not know.

4  ‘Hear, and I will speak;

^kI will question you, and you make it known to me.’

5  I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,

but now my eye sees you;

6  therefore I despise myself,

and repent¹ in ^ldust and ashes.”
