1 O be joyful in | God, • all ye | lands ||

sing praises unto the honour of his | Name, • make his | praise • to be | glor•ious. ||

2 Say unto God, O how wonderful art | 3 thou in thy | works! ||

through the greatness of thy power shall thine | ene•mies be | found | liars • unto thee. ||

3 For all the | world shall | worship • thee ||

sing of | thee, and | praise thy | Name. ||

4 O come hither, and behold the | works of | God ||

how wonderful he is in his | doing • toward the | 3 children of | men. ||

5 He turned the | sea into • dry | land ||

so that they went through the water on foot; * | there did | we re- | joice there•of. ||

6 He ruleth with his power for ever; * his | eyes be•hold the | people ||

and such as will not believe shall | not be | able • to ex- | alt them•selves. ||

7 O praise our | God, ye | people ||

and make the | 3 voice of his | praise • to be | heard; ||

8 Who holdeth our | soul in | life ||

and | suffereth • not our | feet to | slip. ||

9 For thou, O | God, hast | proved us ||

thou also hast | tried us, | like as | silver is • tried. ||

10 Thou broughtest us | 3 into the | snare ||

and laidest | 3 trouble up- | on our | loins. ||

11 Thou sufferedst men to ride over our heads; * we went through | fire and | water, ||

and thou broughtest us | out in•to a | wealthy | place. ||

12 I will go into thine house with burnt offerings, * and will | 3 pay thee my | vows, ||

which I promised with my lips, and spake with my | mouth, when | 3 I was in | trouble. ||

13 I will offer unto thee fat burnt sacrifices, with the | 3 incense of | rams ||

I will | offer | bullocks • and | goats. ||

14 O come hither, and hearken, all | ye that • fear | God ||

and I will tell you 3 what | he hath | done • for my | soul. ||

15 I called unto him with my mouth, and gave him | praises • with my | tongue. ||

16 If I incline unto wickedness with mine | heart, the | Lord • will not | hear me. ||

17 But God hath heard me, and considered the | 3 voice of my | prayer. ||

18 Praised be God, who hath not cast out my | prayer, nor | turned his | mercy • from me. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
