Make a Joyful Noise

1For the choirmaster. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!
2Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.
3Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.
4All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.” Selah
5Come and see the works of God; how awesome are His deeds toward mankind.
6He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the waters on foot; there we rejoiced in Him.
7He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard.
9He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from slipping.
10For You , O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver.
11You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.
12You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance.
13I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You —
14the vows that my lips promised and my mouth spoke in my distress.
15I will offer You fatlings as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah
16Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me.
17I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.
18If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
19But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer.
20Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld from me His loving devotion!
