How Awesome Are Your Deeds

To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.

1  Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
2      sing the glory of his name;
    give to him glorious praise!
3  Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
    So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.
4  All the earth worships you
    and sings praises to you;
    they sing praises to your name.” Selah

5  Come and see what God has done:
    he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
6  He turned the sea into dry land;
    they passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
7      who rules by his might forever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations—
    let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

8  Bless our God, O peoples;
    let the sound of his praise be heard,
9  who has kept our soul among the living
    and has not let our feet slip.
10  For you, O God, have tested us;
    you have tried us as silver is tried.
11  You brought us into the net;
    you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
12  you let men ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and through water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

13  I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
    I will perform my vows to you,
14  that which my lips uttered
    and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.
15  I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,
    with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

16  Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
17  I cried to him with my mouth,
    and high praise was on ^{1 66:17 Hebrew under} my tongue. ^{2 66:17 Or and he was exalted with my tongue}
18  If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened.
19  But truly God has listened;
    he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20  Blessed be God,
    because he has not rejected my prayer
    or removed his steadfast love from me!
