¹To the Overseer. --A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.+ ²Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.+ ³Say to God, `How fearful are Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.+ ⁴All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.+ ⁵Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.+ ⁶He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.+ ⁷Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.+ ⁸Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,+ ⁹Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.+ ¹⁰For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.+ ¹¹Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.+ ¹²Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.+ ¹³I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,+ ¹⁴For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:+ ¹⁵`Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.+ ¹⁶Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.+ ¹⁷Unto Him with my mouth I have called, And exaltation is under my tongue.+ ¹⁸Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.+ ¹⁹But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.+ ²⁰Blessed is God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!+
