To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm.
MAKE a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

2Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

3Say vnto God, How terrible art thou in thy workes? through the greatnesse of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselues vnto thee.

4All the earth shall worship thee; and shall sing vnto thee, they shall sing to thy name; Selah.

5Come and see the workes of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

6He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foote, there did we reioyce in him.

7He ruleth by his power for euer, his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselues. Selah.

8O blesse our God, yee people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard.

9Which holdeth our soule in life, and suffereth not our feete to be moued.

10For thou, O God, hast proued vs: thou hast tried vs, as siluer is tryed.

11Thou broughtest vs into the net; thou layedst affliction vpon our loynes.

12Thou hast caused men to ride ouer our heads, we went through fire, and through water: but thou broughtest vs out into a wealthy place.

13I will goe into thy house, with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vowes,

14Which my lips haue vttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15I will offer vnto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rammes: I will offer bullockes with goates. Selah.

16Come and heare all ye that feare God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soule.

17I cried vnto him with my mouth: and he was extolled with my tongue.

18If I regard iniquitie in my heart: the Lord will not heare me.

19But verily God hath heard mee; hee hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20Blessed bee God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercie from me.

1 For the leader. A song; a psalm.

2Shout joyfully to God, all the earth; sing of his glorious name; give him glorious praise.

3 Say to God: “How awesome your deeds! Before your great strength your enemies cringe.

4 All the earth falls in worship before you; they sing of you, sing of your name!”

5 Come and see the works of God, awesome in deeds before the children of Adam.

6 He changed the sea to dry land; through the river they passed on foot. There we rejoiced in him,

7 who rules by his might forever, His eyes are fixed upon the nations. Let no rebel rise to challenge!

8 Bless our God, you peoples; loudly sound his praise,

9 Who has kept us alive and not allowed our feet to slip.

10 You tested us, O God, tried us as silver tried by fire.

11 You led us into a snare; you bound us at the waist as captives.

12 You let captors set foot on our neck; we went through fire and water; then you led us out to freedom.

13 I will bring burnt offerings to your house; to you I will fulfill my vows,

14 Which my lips pronounced and my mouth spoke in my distress.

15 Burnt offerings of fatlings I will offer you and sacrificial smoke of rams; I will sacrifice oxen and goats.

16 Come and hear, all you who fear God, while I recount what has been done for me.

17 I called to him with my mouth; praise was upon my tongue.

18 Had I cherished evil in my heart, the Lord would not have heard.

19 But God did hear and listened to my voice in prayer.

20 Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer and refuse his mercy.

Verses 1-9 This Psalm of thanksgiving was probably for some festive occasion similar to Psalm 65. The unnamed Psalmist sounds like David. As a nation he calls upon all the nations to praise God for His great power, His works, and His protection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Verses 10-12 Now the nation acknowledges God’s testing, care and provision.

 

 

 

Verses 13-15 In these verses the Psalmist speaks in the first person, as he addresses God. He is going to bring sacrifices and pay the vow he made in distress.

 

Verses 16-20 He addresses the congregation to praise God for answering when he called. If he had not confessed his sin,

v 18, God would not have answered. He had so God did answer

v 19, a strong lesson for us yet today.
