1. For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:
2. Sing forth the glory of his name: make his praise glorious.
3. Say unto God, How terrible are 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 children 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 ruleth by his might for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8. O bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard.
9. Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
10. For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.
12. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
