Shout for joy to God, all the earth!

2 

    Sing the glory of his name;

    make his praise glorious.

3 

Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!

    So great is your power

    that your enemies cringe before you.

4 

All the earth bows down to you;

    they sing praise to you,

    they sing the praises of your name.”[a]

5 

Come and see what God has done,

    his awesome deeds for mankind!

6 

He turned the sea into dry land,

    they passed through the waters on foot—

    come, let us rejoice in him.

7 

He rules forever by his power,

    his eyes watch the nations—

    let not the rebellious rise up against him.

8 

Praise our God, all peoples,

    let the sound of his praise be heard;

9 

he has preserved our lives

    and kept our feet from slipping.
