Job 40

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. To You belongs silence [the submissive wonder of reverence], and [it bursts into] praise in Zion, O God; And to You the vow shall be performed.

² O You who hear prayer, To You all mankind comes.

³ Wickedness and guilt prevail against me; Yet as for our transgressions, You forgive them [removing them from Your sight].

⁴ Blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near To dwell in Your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.

⁵ By awesome and wondrous things You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, You who are the trust and hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

⁶ Who creates the mountains by His strength, Being clothed with power,

⁷ Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples,

⁸ So they who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs [the evidence of Your presence]. You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.

⁹ You visit the earth and make it overflow [with water]; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You provide their grain, when You have prepared the earth.

¹⁰ You water its furrows abundantly, You smooth its ridges; You soften it with showers, You bless its growth.

¹¹ You crown the year with Your bounty, And Your paths overflow.

¹² The pastures of the wilderness drip [with dew], And the hills are encircled with joy.

¹³ The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy and they sing.

¹⁴ To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

¹⁵ Sing of the honor and glory and magnificence of His name; Make His praise glorious.

¹⁶ Say to God, "How awesome and fearfully glorious are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will pretend to be obedient to You.

¹⁷ "All the earth will [bow down to] worship You [in submissive wonder], And will sing praises to You; They will praise Your name in song." Selah.

¹⁸ Come and see the works of God, He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of men.

¹⁹ He turned the sea into dry land; They crossed through the river on foot; There we rejoiced in Him.

²⁰ Who rules by His might forever, His eyes keep watch on the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

²¹ Bless our God, O peoples, And make the sound of His praise be heard abroad,

²² Who keeps us among the living, And does not allow our feet to slip or stumble.

²³ For You have tested us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined.

²⁴ You brought us into the net; You laid a heavy burden [of servitude] on[1] us.
