\v 1 Tell everyone on the earth
|
|
\q2 that they should sing joyfully to praise God!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 They should sing songs that say that God is very great,
|
|
\q2 and they should tell everyone that he is very glorious!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 They should say to God, "The things that you do are awesome!
|
|
\q2 Your power is very great,
|
|
\q2 with the result that your enemies cringe in front of you."
|
|
\q1
|

|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 Come and think about what God has done!
|
|
\q1 Think about the awesome things that he has done among people.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 He caused the sea to become dry land,
|
|
\q2 with the result that our ancestors were able to walk right through it.
|
|
\q1 There we rejoiced because of what he had done.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 He rules forever by his power,
|
|
\q2 and he keeps watching all the nations to see what evil things they do.
|
|
\q2 The nations that want to rebel against him should not be proud.
|
|
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 You people of all nations, praise our God!
|
|
\q2 Praise him loudly in order that people will hear you as you praise him.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 He has kept us alive,
|
|
\q2 and he has not allowed us to fall into disaster.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 God, you have tested us;
|
|
\q1 you have allowed us to experience great difficulties to make our lives become pure
|
|
\q2 as people put precious metals in a hot fire to burn out what is impure.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 It is as if you allowed us to fall into traps,
|
|
\q2 and you forced us to endure difficult things that were like heavy loads to carry on our backs.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 You allowed our enemies to trample on us;
|
|
\q2 we experienced difficulties walking through fires and floods,
|
|
\q1 but now you have made us safe.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 I will bring to your temple offerings that are to be completely burned on the altar;
|
|
\q2 I will offer to you what I promised.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 When I was experiencing much trouble, I said that I would bring offerings to you if you rescued me;
|
|
\q2 and you did rescue me, so I will bring to you what I promised.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 I will bring sheep to be burned on the altar,
|
|
\q2 and I will also sacrifice bulls and goats;
|
|
\q2 when they are burning, you will be pleased as the smoke rises up to you.
|
|
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 All you people who have a reverential respect for God, come and listen,
|
|
\q2 and I will tell you what he has done for me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 I called out to him to help me,
|
|
\q2 and I praised him while I was speaking to him.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 If I had ignored the sins that I had committed,
|
|
\q2 the Lord would not have paid any attention to me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 But because I confessed my sins, God has listened to me
|
|
\q2 and has paid attention to my prayers.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 I praise God
|
|
\q2 because he has not ignored my prayers;
|
|
\q2 he continues to love me as he promised in his covenant to do.
