¹ Shout joyfully to God, all the earth! ⓐ

² Sing about the glory of His name; make His praise glorious. ⓑ

³ Say to God, “How awe-inspiring are Your works! Your enemies will cringe before You because of Your great strength. ⓒ

⁴ All the earth will worship You and sing praise to You. They will sing praise to Your name.” ⓓ Selah

⁵ Come and see the wonders of God; ⓔ His acts for humanity are awe-inspiring.

⁶ He turned the sea into dry land, and they crossed the river on foot. ⓕ There we rejoiced in Him. ⓖ

⁷ He rules forever by His might; He keeps His eye on the nations. ⓗ The rebellious should not exalt themselves. ⓘ Selah

⁸ Praise our God, you peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard. ⓙ

⁹ He keeps us alive [1] and does not allow our feet to slip. ⓚ

¹⁰ For You, God, tested us; You refined us as silver is refined. ⓛ

¹¹ You lured us into a trap; You placed burdens on our backs. ⓜ

¹² You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us out to abundance. [2] ⓝ

¹³ I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows ⓞ

¹⁴ that my lips promised and my mouth spoke during my distress. ⓟ

¹⁵ I will offer You fattened sheep as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will sacrifice oxen with goats. ⓠ Selah

¹⁶ Come and listen, all who fear God, and I will tell what He has done for me. ⓡ

¹⁷ I cried out to Him with my mouth, and praise was on my tongue. ⓢ

¹⁸ If I had been aware of malice in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. ⓣ

¹⁹ However, God has listened; He has paid attention to the sound of my prayer. ⓤ

²⁰ May God be praised! He has not turned away my prayer or turned His faithful love from me. ⓥ
