1David exhorteth to praise God, 5to observe his great works, 8to bless him for his gracious benefits: 13he voweth for himself religious service to God: 16he declareth God's special goodness to himself.

1Make 1a joyful noise unto God, aall ye lands:
21Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
3Say 1unto God, How 2terrible art thou in thy works! 3through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies asubmit themselves unto thee.
4All 1the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
5Come 1and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6He 1turned the sea into dry land: 2they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7He 1ruleth by his power for ever; 2his eyes behold the nations: 3let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8O 1bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9Which aholdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
10aFor thou, O God, 1hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11Thou 1broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
12Thou hast caused men 1to ride over our heads; we went 2through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a awealthy place.
13I 1will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14Which my lips have auttered, and my mouth hath spoken, 1when I was in trouble.
15I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of afatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
161Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17I 1cried unto him with my mouth, and he 2was extolled with my tongue.
18If I 1regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will 2not hear me:
19but1verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
201Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
