For the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm.
1Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2Sing to the glory of His name!
Offer glory and praise!
3Tell God, “How awesome are Your deeds!
Through the greatness of Your power, Your enemies submit themselves to You.
4All the earth will worship You,
and will sing to You;
they will sing to Your name.” Selah.
5Come, and see God’s deeds—
awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
6He turned the sea into dry land.
They went through the river on foot.
There, we rejoiced in Him.
7He rules by His might forever.
His eyes watch the nations.
Don’t let the rebellious rise up against Him. Selah.
8Praise our God, you peoples!
Make the sound of His praise heard,
9who preserves our life among the living,
and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.
10For You, God, have tested us.
You have refined us, as silver is refined.
11You brought us into prison.
You laid a burden on our backs.
12You allowed men to ride over our heads.
We went through fire and through water,
but You brought us to the place of abundance.
13I will come into Your temple with burnt offerings.
I will pay my vows to You, 14which my lips promised,
and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
15I will offer to You burnt offerings of fat animals,
with the offering of rams,
I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.
16Come and hear, all you who fear God.
I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17I cried to Him with my mouth.
He was extolled with my tongue.
18If I cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord wouldn’t have listened.
19But most certainly, God has listened.
He has heard the voice of my prayer.
20Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer,
nor His loving kindness from me.
1In finem. Canticum psalmi resurrectionis. Jubilate Deo, omnis terra; 2psalmum dicite nomini ejus; date gloriam laudi ejus. 3Dicite Deo: Quam terribilia sunt opera tua, Domine! in multitudine virtutis tuæ mentientur tibi inimici tui. 4Omnis terra adoret te, et psallat tibi; psalmum dicat nomini tuo. 5Venite, et videte opera Dei: terribilis in consiliis super filios hominum. 6Qui convertit mare in aridam; in flumine pertransibunt pede: ibi lætabimur in ipso. 7Qui dominatur in virtute sua in æternum; oculi ejus super gentes respiciunt: qui exasperant non exaltentur in semetipsis. 8Benedicite, gentes, Deum nostrum, et auditam facite vocem laudis ejus: 9qui posuit animam meam ad vitam, et non dedit in commotionem pedes meos. 10Quoniam probasti nos, Deus; igne nos examinasti, sicut examinatur argentum. 11Induxisti nos in laqueum; posuisti tribulationes in dorso nostro; 12imposuisti homines super capita nostra. Transivimus per ignem et aquam, et eduxisti nos in refrigerium. 13Introibo in domum tuam in holocaustis; reddam tibi vota mea 14quæ distinxerunt labia mea: et locutum est os meum in tribulatione mea. 15Holocausta medullata offeram tibi, cum incenso arietum; offeram tibi boves cum hircis. 16Venite, audite, et narrabo, omnes qui timetis Deum, quanta fecit animæ meæ. 17Ad ipsum ore meo clamavi, et exaltavi sub lingua mea. 18Iniquitatem si aspexi in corde meo, non exaudiet Dominus. 19Propterea exaudivit Deus, et attendit voci deprecationis meæ. 20Benedictus Deus, qui non amovit orationem meam, et misericordiam suam a me.
