Make a joyful noise
(Psalm 100:1-5)
1
For the chief musician. A song, a psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth.
2
Sing out the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.
3
Say to God, “How terrifying are your deeds! By the greatness of your power your enemies will submit to you.
4
All the earth will worship you and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” Selah.
5
Come and see the works of God; he is fearsome in his deeds toward the sons of mankind.
6
He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there we rejoiced in him.
7
He rules forever by his might; his eyes observe the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8
Give blessing to God, you people, let the sound of his praise be heard.
9
He keeps us among the living, and he does not permit our feet to slip.
10
For you, God, have tested us; you have tested us as silver is tested.
11
You brought us into a net; you laid a severe burden on our waists.
12
You made people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us out into a spacious place.
13
I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows
14
which my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in distress.
15
I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals with the sweet aroma of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah.
16
Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17
I cried to him with my mouth, and he was praised with my tongue.
18
If I had seen sin within my heart, the Lord would not have listened to me.
19
But God has truly heard; he has paid attention to the voice of my prayer.
20
Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer or his covenant faithfulness from me.
