To the Overcomer, A Song or Psalm.

¹ ¶ Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth;

² sing forth the glory of his name; put glory into thy praise.

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 sons of men.

⁶ He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there did we rejoice in him.

⁷ He rules by his power for ever; his eyes watch the Gentiles; the rebellious shall not exalt themselves. Selah.

⁸ ¶ O bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard.

⁹ It is he who placed our soul into life and did not suffer our feet to slip.

¹⁰ For thou, O God, hast proved us; thou hast refined us as silver is refined.

¹¹ Thou didst bring us into the net; thou didst lay affliction upon our loins.

¹² Thou hast placed a man over our head; we went through fire and through water, but thou didst bring us out into abundance.

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 has 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 has done unto 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 has heard me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer nor his mercy from me.
