^(C1)Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

Sing the ^(C1)glory of His name; Make His ^(C2)praise glorious.

Say to God, "How ^(C1)awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will ^(C2)pretend to obey You.

-"^(C1)All the earth will worship You, And will ^(C2)sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name." Selah

^(C1)Come and see the works of God, Who is ^(C2)awesome in His deeds toward the sons of mankind.

He ^(C1)turned the sea into dry land; They passed through ^(C2)the river on foot; Let's ^(C3)rejoice there, in Him!

He ^(C1)rules by His might forever; His ^(C2)eyes keep watch on the nations; The rebellious shall not ^(C3)exalt themselves! Selah

Bless our God, you peoples, And ^(F1)(C1)sound His praise abroad,

Who ^(F1)(C1)keeps us in life, And ^(C2)does not allow our feet to ^(F2)slip.

For You have ^(C1)put us to the test, God; You have ^(C2)refined us as silver is refined.

You ^(C1)brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon ^(F1)us.

You made men ^(C1)ride over our heads; We went through ^(C2)fire and through water. Yet You ^(C3)brought us out into a place of abundance.

I shall ^(C1)come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall ^(C2)pay You my vows,

Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was ^(C1)in distress.

I shall ^(C1)offer to You burnt offerings of fat animals, With the smoke of ^(C2)rams; I shall make an offering of ^(F1)bulls with male goats. Selah

^(C1)Come and hear, all who ^(F1)fear God, And I will ^(C2)tell of what He has done for my soul.

I cried to Him with my mouth, And ^(F1)He was ^(C1)exalted with my tongue.

If I ^(F1)(C1)regard wickedness in my heart, The ^(C2)Lord will not hear;

But ^(C1)God has heard; He has given attention to the sound of my prayer.

^(C1)Blessed be God, Who ^(C2)has not turned away my prayer Nor His favor from me.

God be gracious to us and ^(C1)bless us, And ^(C2)cause His face to shine ^(F1)upon us— Selah

That ^(C1)Your way may be known on the earth, ^(C2)Your salvation among all nations.

May the ^(C1)peoples praise You, God; May all the peoples praise You.

May the ^(C1)nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will ^(C2)judge the peoples with fairness And ^(C3)guide the nations on the earth. Selah

May the ^(C1)peoples praise You, God; May all the peoples praise You.

The ^(C1)earth has yielded its produce; God, our God, ^(C2)blesses us.

God blesses us, ^(F1)So that ^(C1)all the ends of the earth may fear Him.

^(F1)May ^(C1)God arise, ^(F2)may His enemies be scattered, And ^(F3)may those who hate Him flee from His presence.

As ^(C1)smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As ^(C2)wax melts before a fire, So the ^(C3)wicked will perish before God.

But the ^(C1)righteous will be joyful; they will rejoice before God; Yes, they will rejoice with gladness.

Sing to God, ^(C1)sing praises to His name; ^(F1)(C2)Exalt Him who ^(C3)rides through the deserts, Whose ^(C4)name is ^(F2)the LORD, and be jubilant before Him.

A ^(C1)father of the fatherless and a ^(C2)judge ^(F1)for the widows, Is God in His ^(C3)holy dwelling.

God ^(F1)(C1)makes a home for the lonely; He ^(C2)leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only ^(C3)the rebellious live in parched lands.

God, when You ^(C1)went forth before Your people, When You ^(C2)marched through the desert, Selah

The ^(C1)earth quaked; The ^(C2)heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; ^(F1)(C3)Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

You ^(C1)made plentiful rain fall, God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was ^(F1)parched.

Your creatures settled in it; In Your kindness You ^(C1)provided for the poor, God.

The Lord gives the ^(F1)command; The ^(C1)women who proclaim good news are a great army:

"^(C1)Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will ^(C2)divide the spoils!"

^(F1)When you lie down ^(C1)among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with ^(F2)glistening gold.

When the Almighty ^(C1)scattered the kings ^(F1)there, It was snowing in ^(C2)Zalmon.

^(C1)The mountain of Bashan is a ^(F1)mountain of God; The mountain of Bashan is a mountain of many peaks.

Why do you look with envy, you mountains of many peaks, At the mountain God has ^(C1)desired as His dwelling? Indeed, ^(C2)the LORD will dwell there forever.

The ^(C1)chariots of God are ^(F1)myriads, ^(C2)thousands upon thousands; ^(F2)The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.

You have ^(C1)ascended on high, You have ^(C2)led captive Your captives; You have received gifts among people, Even among the rebellious as well, that ^(F1)the LORD God may dwell there.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily ^(C1)bears our burden, ^(C2)The God who is our salvation. Selah

God is to us a ^(C1)God of salvation; And ^(C2)to ^(F1)GOD the Lord belong ways of escape ^(F2)from death.

God certainly will ^(C1)shatter the heads of His enemies, The hairy ^(F1)head of one who goes about in his guilt.

The Lord ^(F1)said, "^(C1)I will bring them back from Bashan. I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,

So that ^(F1)(C1)your foot may shatter them in blood, And the tongue of your ^(C2)dogs may have its portion from your enemies."

They have seen ^(C1)Your procession, God, The procession of my God, my King, ^(F1)(C2)into the sanctuary.

The ^(C1)singers went on, the musicians after them, ^(F1)In the midst of the ^(C2)young women beating tambourines.

^(C1)Bless God in the congregations, Even the LORD, you who are of the ^(C2)fountain of Israel.

^(C1)Benjamin, the ^(F1)youngest, is there, ^(F2)ruling them, The leaders of Judah in their company, The leaders of ^(C2)Zebulun, the leaders of Naphtali.

^(F1)Your God has ^(C1)commanded your strength; Show Yourself strong, God, You ^(C2)who acted ^(F2)in our behalf.

^(F1)Because of Your temple at Jerusalem ^(C1)Kings will bring gifts to You.

Rebuke the ^(C1)animals ^(F1)in the reeds, The herd of ^(C2)bulls with the calves of the peoples, Trampling the pieces of silver; He has ^(C3)scattered the peoples who delight in war.

^(F1)Messengers will come from ^(C1)Egypt; ^(F2)(C2)Cush will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

Sing to God, you ^(C1)kingdoms of the earth, ^(C2)Sing praises to the Lord, Selah

To Him who ^(C1)rides upon the ^(F1)(C2)highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, ^(C3)He ^(F2)speaks with His voice, a ^(C4)mighty voice.

^(C1)Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel, And ^(C2)His strength is in the ^(F1)skies.

^(F1)God, You are ^(C1)awesome from Your ^(F2)sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself ^(C2)gives strength and power to the people. ^(C3)Blessed be God!
