International Standard Version

1 Shout praise to God all the earth!

2 Sing praise about the glory of his name. ^a Make his praise glorious.

3 Say to God: “How awesome are your works! Because of your great strength your enemies cringe before you.”

4 The whole earth worships you. They sing praise to you. They sing praise to your name. Interlude

5 Come and see the awesome works of God on behalf of human beings:

6 He turned the sea into dry land. Israel ^b crossed the river on foot; let us rejoice in him.

7 He rules by his power forever, his eyes watching over the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Interlude

8 Bless our God, people, and let the sound of his praise be heard.

9 He gives us life and does not permit our feet to slip.

10 For you, God, tested us, to purify us like fine silver.

11 You have led us into a trap ^c and set burdens on our backs.

12 You caused men to ride over us. ^d You brought us through fire and water, but you led us to abundance.

13 I will come to your house with burnt offerings. I will fulfill my vows to you

14 that my lips uttered and that my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat, along with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams. I will offer bulls along with goats. Interlude

16 Come and listen, all of you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me.

17 I called aloud to him and praised him with my tongue.

18 Were I to cherish iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not listen to me.

19 Surely God has heard, and he paid attention to my ^e prayers.

20 Blessed be God, who did not turn away my prayers nor his gracious love from me.
