1 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!
|
2 Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!
|
3 Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, Your enemies will submit themselves to you.
|
4 All the earth will worship you, And will sing to you; They will sing to your name." Selah.
|
5 Come, and see God's deeds -- Awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
|
6 He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.
|
7 He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don't let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.
|
8 Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard,
|
9 Who preserves our life among the living, And doesn't allow our feet to be moved.
|
10 For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.
|
11 You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.
|
12 You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, But you brought us to the place of abundance.
|
13 I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,
|
14 which my lips promised, And my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
|
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, With the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.
|
16 Come, and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.
|
17 I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
|
18 If I cherished sin in my heart, The Lord wouldn't have listened.
|
19 But most assuredly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.
|
20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me. Psalm 67 For the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song.
