The LORD Reigns (93)

`Make a joyful shout to God_, / all the earth!

`Sing_ to the glory / of his name!

`Offer glory / and~ praise!

`Tell_ God, “How awesome / are your deeds!”

`“Through the greatness / of your power,

your `enemies submit them / selves to you.

`All the earth will / worship you,

`and will / sing to you; • `they will sing_ / to your name.”

Selah.

(Ref)

`Come and see the deeds_ / of~ God—

`awesome work_ on behalf_ of the children / of mankind.

He `turned the sea_ into / dry~ land.

`They went through the river / on~ foot.

`There_, we re / joiced in him.

`He rules by his / might forever.

His `eyes_ watch the / na~ tions.

`Let not the rebellious rise_ up a / gainst~ him.

Selah.

`Praise our / God, you peoples!

`Make the sound_ of his / praise~ heard,

`who preserves our life a / mong the living,

`and does not allow our feet_ / to be moved.

(Ref)

For `you, O God, have / tested us.

`You_ have refined us, as_ silver / is refined.

`You brought us in / to a trap.

You `laid a burden / on our backs.

`You allowed_ men to ride_ over / our~ heads.

`We_ went through fire_ / and through water,

`but you / brought~ us

`to the place_ / of abundance.

`I will come into your temple with burnt / offerings.

`I will pay my / vows to you, 

`which my / lips~ promised,

and `my mouth spoke, when I was / in distress. +

`I will offer to you burnt_ offerings of fat_ / animals,

`with the offering of rams_, I will offer bulls_ / with~ goats.

Selah.

(Ref)

`Come and listen, all_ you who / fear~ God.

`I_ will declare what he has / done for me.

I `cried to him_ / with my mouth.

`He_ was extolled_ / with my tongue.

If `I had cherished sin_ / in my heart,

the `Lord would / not have listened.

But `truly, / God has listened.

`He has heard the voice_ / of my prayer. +

`Bles-sed be_ God, who has not turned a / way my prayer,

`nor his loving kindness / from~ me.
