1 Shout aloud unto God, all the earth: 2 Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious; 3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee. 4 All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah. 5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doings toward the children of men. 6 He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him. 7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

8  Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard; 9  Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. 10  For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. 11  Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins; 12  Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.
