Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

 ¹Sing forth the glory of His name;
Make glorious His praise.

Say to God, How awesome are Your deeds!
Because of the greatness of Your strength, Your enemies come cringing
to You.

All the earth will worship You
And sing psalms to You;
They will sing psalms to Your name. Selah

Come and see the works of God;
He is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

He turned the sea into dry land;
Through the river they crossed on foot.
There we rejoiced in Him.

He rules by His might forever;
His eyes observe the nations:
Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

Bless our God, O peoples;
And make the voice of His praise heard,

Who has kept our soul in life
And does not allow our feet to slip.

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

You have brought us into the net;
You have put a heavy burden on our loins.

You have made men ride over our heads;
We have gone through fire and water;
But You have brought us forth into abundance.

I will come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay my vows to You,

Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.

I will offer to You burnt offerings of fatlings
With the smoke of rams;
I will offer cattle with goats.Selah

Come, hear, all you who fear God,
And I will recount what He has done for my soul.

To Him I called out with my mouth,
And  ¹He was extolled with my tongue.

If I regarded iniquity in my heart,
The Lord did not hear.

But indeed God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

Blessed be God,
Who has not turned my prayer away
Nor His lovingkindness from me.

To the choir director: on the stringed instruments. A Psalm; a Song

God be gracious to us and bless us;
May He make His face shine upon us; Selah

That Your way may be known on earth,
And Your salvation among all the nations.

Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let the peoples praise You, all of them.

Let the nations rejoice and shout for joy,
For You will judge the peoples equitably
And will guide the nations on the earth. Selah

Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let the peoples praise You, all of them.

The earth has yielded its increase;
God, our God, blesses us.

God blesses us;
And all the ends of the earth will fear Him.

To the choir director. Of David. A Psalm; a Song

 ¹Let God arise; let His  ²enemies be scattered;
And let those who hate Him flee before Him.

As smoke is driven away, You will drive them away;
As wax melts before fire,
The wicked will perish before God.

But the righteous will rejoice; they will exult before God
And be glad with rejoicing.

Sing to God; sing psalms to His name;
 ¹Triumph in Him who rides through the deserts —
For  ²Jah is His name — and  ¹exult before Him.

A Father to the  ¹orphans and a Judge for the widows
Is God in His holy habitation.

God causes the solitary to dwell in a household;
He brings the prisoners forth into prosperity;
But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

O God, when You went forth before Your people,
When You marched through the desert, Selah

The earth trembled, the heavens also dripped,
At the presence of God;
Sinai there quaked
At the presence of God, the God of Israel.

You shed forth bountiful rain, O God;
You confirmed Your inheritance when it languished.

Your living flock dwelt in  ¹the land;
In Your goodness You provided for the poor, O God.

The Lord gives the command;
The  ¹women who  ²bear the glad tidings are a great host.

The  ¹kings of the armies flee.
They flee!
And  ²she who  ³abides at home
Divides the  ⁴spoil.

Though you  ¹lie among the sheepfolds,
There are  ²dove wings covered with silver,
And its pinions, with greenish-yellow gold.

When the  ¹Almighty scattered
The  ²kings in  ³the land,
It snowed on Zalmon.

O  ¹mighty mountain, O mountain of Bashan,
O many-peaked mountain, O mountain of Bashan:

Why do you look with envy, O many-peaked mountains,
At the  ¹mountain on which God desires to dwell?
Indeed Jehovah will dwell there forever.

The chariots of God are twenty thousand,
Thousands upon thousands;
The Lord is among them,
As at Sinai, in the sanctuary.

You have  ¹ascended on high; You have led captive  ²those taken captive;
You have received  ³gifts among men,
Even the rebellious ones also,
That  ⁴Jehovah God may  ⁵dwell among them.

Blessed be the Lord, who day by day  ¹loads us with  ²good;
God is our salvation. Selah

God is to us
A God of deliverance,
And with Jehovah the Lord
Are the  ¹goings forth even from death.

Indeed God will  ¹smash
The head of His enemies,
The hairy crown
Of him who goes about in his guiltiness.

The Lord said, I will bring them again from Bashan;
I will bring them again from the depths of the sea,

That you may  ¹bathe your foot in blood,
That the tongue of your dogs may have their portion from the enemies.

 ¹They have seen Your  ¹goings, O God,
The goings of my God, my King, in the  ¹sanctuary:

Singers go before; players after;
In the midst of  ¹virgins sounding the tambourines.

Bless God in the congregations,
Even  ¹Jehovah, O you who are of the fountain of Israel.

There are little  ¹Benjamin, who rules them,
And the princes of  ²Judah in their company,
The princes of  ³Zebulun, the princes of  ⁴Naphtali.

Your God has commanded your strength;
 ¹Strengthen, O God, that which You have done for us.

Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,
 ¹Kings will bring a gift to You.

Rebuke the  ¹animals of the reeds,
The herd of the bulls among the calves of the peoples,
Trampling on those who lust after silver;
Scatter the  ²peoples who take delight in war.

Nobles will come out of Egypt;
 ¹Cush will quickly stretch out its hands to God.

O kingdoms of the earth,
Sing to God,
Sing psalms to the Lord, Selah

To Him who rides upon the ancient heaven of heavens.
Behold, He utters His voice, a mighty voice.

Ascribe strength to God;
His excellence is over Israel,
And His strength is in the skies.

You are awesome, O God, from Your sanctuaries.
The God of Israel, He gives strength and power to the people.
Blessed be God!

To the choir director: according to  ¹Shoshannim. Of David

 ¹Save me, O God; for the waters
Threaten my life.

I sink in deep mire,
And there is no place to stand;
I have come to the depths of water,
And the flood flows over me.

I am weary of my crying;
My throat is parched;
My eyes fail
While I wait for my God.

More numerous than the hairs of my head
Are those who hate me without cause;
Mighty are those who would destroy me,
Those who are wrongly my enemies.
What I did not steal,
I must then restore.

O God, You know my foolishness,
And my sins of guilt are not hidden from You.

Do not let those who wait on You be put to shame because of me,
O Lord Jehovah of hosts;
Do not let those who seek You be humiliated because of me,
O God of Israel.

Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
Humiliation has covered my face.

I have become a stranger to my brothers,
And a foreigner to my mother's children.

For the zeal of Your house has devoured me,
And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.

When I wept, when my soul was in fasting,
That became a reproach to me.

When I made sackcloth my clothing,
I became a proverb to them.

Those who sit in the gate talk about me,
And I am the mocking song of those who drink liquor.

But as for me, my prayer is to You,
O Jehovah, in an acceptable time;
O God, in the abundance of Your lovingkindness answer me,
In the faithfulness of Your salvation.

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink;
May I be delivered from those who hate me,
And out of the depths of water.

Do not let the flood of water flow over me,
Nor let the deep swallow me,
Nor let the pit close its mouth over me.

Answer me, O Jehovah; for Your lovingkindness is good;
According to the abundance of Your compassions turn to me.

And do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am in distress; hurry and answer me.

Draw near to my soul; redeem it;
Ransom me because of my enemies.

You know my reproach
And my shame and my humiliation;
All my adversaries are before You.

Reproach has broken my heart,
And I am sick;
I looked for pity, but there was none;
And for comforters, but I found none.

But they gave me gall for my food,
And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

 ¹May their table become a snare before them
And a trap when they are at peace.

May their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see;
And make their loins shake continually.

Pour out Your indignation upon them;
And may the burning fierceness of Your anger overtake them.

May their camp be desolate;
May there be no one to dwell in their tents.

For they persecute him whom You have stricken,
And they recount the pain of those whom You have wounded.

Add iniquity to their iniquity,
And do not let them come into Your righteousness.

May they be blotted out of the book of life,
And may they not be written with the righteous.

But I am poor and pained;
May Your salvation, O God, set me on high.

I will praise the name of God with a song
And will magnify Him with thanksgiving;

And it will be better to Jehovah than an ox
Or a bull with horns and hooves.

The meek have seen it; they rejoice.
You who seek God, let your heart revive.

For Jehovah listens to the needy,
And He does not despise His prisoners.

Let the heavens and the earth praise Him,
The seas and everything that moves in them.

For God will save Zion
And build the cities of Judah;
And they will abide there and possess it.

And the seed of His servants will inherit it,
And those who love His name will dwell in it.

To the choir director. Of David, for remembrance

O God, hasten to deliver me;
O Jehovah, hasten to help me.

May those who seek my life
Be put to shame and confounded;
May those who take delight in my misfortune
Be turned back and humiliated;

May those who say, Aha! Aha!
Turn away because of their shame;

May all those who seek You
Be glad and rejoice in You;
And may those who love Your salvation
Say continually,
May God be magnified!

But I am poor and needy;
O God, hasten to me.
You are my help and my Deliverer;
O Jehovah, do not delay.
