Psalm

Because of your great power,

Your enemies will cringe before you.+

 4 All the earth will bow down to you;+

They will sing praises to you;

They will sing praises to your name.”+ (Selah)

 6 He changed the sea into dry land;+

They crossed the river on foot.+

 8 Praise our God, you peoples,+

And let the sound of his praise be heard.

 9 He preserves us alive;*+

He does not allow our feet to stumble.*+

10 For you have examined us, O God;+

As silver is refined, so you have refined us.

11 You brought us into a hunting net;

You put a crushing burden upon us.*

12 You allowed mortal man to ride over us;*

We came through fire and through water;

Then you brought us to a place of relief.

13 I will come into your house with whole burnt offerings;+

I will pay my vows to you+

14 That my lips promised+

And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.

15 I will offer burnt offerings of fattened animals to you

With the smoke of sacrificial rams.

16 Come and listen, all you who fear God,

And I will tell you what he has done for me.*+

17 I called to him with my mouth

And glorified him with my tongue.

18 If I had harbored anything hurtful in my heart,

Jehovah would not have heard me.+

19 But God did hear;+

He paid attention to my prayer.+

20 Praise to God, who did not reject my prayer

Or withhold his loyal love from me.
