1For the Conductor, a song, a psalm. Raise your voices in jubilation to God, all the earth!
2Sing the glory of His Name; make glorious His praise.
3Say to God, "How awesome are Your deeds!" Because of Your great strength, Your enemies will [admit] their treachery to You.
4All the earth will bow to You, and sing to You; they will sing praise to Your Name forever!
5Go and see the works of God, awesome in His deeds toward mankind.
6He turned the sea into dry land, and they passed through the river on foot; we rejoiced in Him there.
7He rules the world with His might, and His eyes watch the nations; let the rebellious not exalt themselves, Selah.
8Bless our God, O nations, and let the voice of His praise be heard.
9He has kept us alive, and did not allow our feet to falter.
10For You tested us, O God; You refined us as one refining silver.
11You brought us into prison; You placed a chain upon our loins.
12You mounted men over our head; we went through fire and water, and You brought us out to abundance.
13I will enter Your House with burnt-offerings, I will pay to You my vows,
14which my lips uttered and my mouth spoke in my distress.
15I will offer up to You burnt-offerings of fat animals, with the smoke of rams; I will prepare cattle with he-goats, Selah.
16Come listen, all you who fear God, and I will relate what He has done for my soul.
17I called to Him with my mouth, with exaltation beneath my tongue.
18Had I seen iniquity in my heart, my Lord would not have listened.
19But in truth, God heard; He gave ear to the voice of my prayer.
20Blessed is God Who has not turned away my prayer or His kindness from me.
