Suddenly God shoots them down with an arrow, leaving them with wounds;

Everyone is awestruck — they acknowledge that it is God at work, they understand what he has done. The righteous will rejoice in Adonai ; they will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will exult.

To you, God, in Tziyon, silence is praise; and vows to you are to be fulfilled.

It is just that you answer us with awesome deeds, God of our salvation, you in whom all put their trust, to the ends of the earth and on distant seas.

You care for the earth and water it, you enrich it greatly; with the river of God, full of water, you provide them grain and prepare the ground.

For the leader. A song. A psalm: Shout to God, all the earth!

Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds! At your great power, your enemies cringe.

Come and see what God has done, his awesome dealings with humankind.

Bless our God, you peoples! Let the sound of his praise be heard!

For you, God, have tested us, refined us as silver is refined.

Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me.

But in fact, God did listen; he paid attention to my prayer.

Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer or turn his grace away from me.

God, be gracious to us, and bless us. May he make his face shine toward us, (Selah)

Let the peoples give thanks to you, God; let the peoples give thanks to you, all of them.

Let the peoples give thanks to you, God; let the peoples give thanks to you, all of them.

The earth has yielded its harvest; may God, our God, bless us. May God continue to bless us, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee from his presence.

Drive them away as smoke is driven away; like wax melting in the presence of a fire, let the wicked perish in the presence of God.

Sing to God, sing praises to his name; extol him who rides on the clouds by his name, Yah; and be glad in his presence.
