For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm.
Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:
Sing forth the glory of his name:
Make his praise glorious.
Say unto God, How terrible are thy works!
Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies {Or, yield feigned obedience Hebrew: lie.}submit themselves unto thee.
All the earth shall worship thee,
And shall sing unto thee;
They shall sing to thy name.
[Selah
Come, and see the works of God;
He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
He turned the sea into dry land;
They went through the river on foot:
There {Or, let us rejoice}did we rejoice in him.
He ruleth by his might for ever;
His eyes observe the nations:
Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah
Oh bless our God, ye peoples,
And make the voice of his praise to be heard;
Who {Hebrew: putteth.}holdeth our soul in life,
And suffereth not our feet to be moved.
For thou, O God, hast proved us:
Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
Thou broughtest us into the net;
Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.
Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But thou broughtest us out into {Hebrew: abundance.}a wealthy place.
I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings;
I will pay thee my vows,
Which my lips uttered,
And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.
I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,
With the incense of rams;
I will offer bullocks with goats.
[Selah
Come, and hear, all ye that fear God,
And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
I cried unto him with my mouth,
And {Or, as otherwise read. high praise was under my tongue}he was extolled with my tongue.
If I {Or, had regarded}regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord {Or, would}will not hear:
But verily God hath heard;
He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
Blessed be God,
Who hath not turned away my prayer,
Nor his lovingkindness from me.

I cried to thee, O Jehovah;And unto Jehovah I made supplication:
A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David.I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast {Or, drawn}raised me up,And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
Oh magnify Jehovah with me,And let us exalt his name together.
A Psalm of praise; of DavidI will extol thee, my God, O King;And I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
I sought Jehovah, and he answered me,And delivered me from all my fears.
This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him,And saved him out of all his troubles.
I love Jehovah, because he hearethMy voice and my supplications.
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
What shall I render unto JehovahFor all his benefits toward me?
