God has spoken once; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God;

God, You are my God; I shall be watching for You; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and exhausted land where there is no water.

But the king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will boast, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

Hear my voice, God, in my complaint; Protect my life from dread of the enemy.

But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly they will be wounded.

Then all people will fear, And they will declare the work of God, And will consider what He has done.

There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion, God, And the vow will be fulfilled for You.

By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and the farthest sea;

You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, for so You prepare the earth.

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

Say to God, "How awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will pretend to obey You.

Come and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of mankind.

Bless our God, you peoples, And sound His praise abroad,

For You have put us to the test, God; You have refined us as silver is refined.

Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.

But God has heard; He has given attention to the sound of my prayer.

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

God be gracious to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us— Selah

May the peoples praise You, God; May all the peoples praise You.

May the peoples praise You, God; May all the peoples praise You.
