To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm.
1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Which holdeth 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 the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place .
13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
Slavas dziesma, pienesot pateicības upuri
1 Korvedim. Dziesma. Psalms.
Gavilējiet Dievam, visi, kas virs zemes!
2 Apdziediet viņa vārda godu,
godību lieciniet viņa slavai!
3 Sakiet Dievam: cik baisi tavi darbi!
Tik liels tavs spēks, ka naidnieki lišķē tev!
4 Visa zeme tev zemojas un dzied tev slavu,
dzied slavu tavam vārdam!
5 Nāciet un raugiet, ko dara Dievs, –
varens viņš parādās cilvēka dēliem!
6 Viņš pārvērta jūru par sauszemi,
kājām tie pārgāja upi –
tādēļ līksmosimies par viņu!
7 Viņš valda mūžīgi savā spēkā,
viņa acis uzlūko tautas,
lai spītnieki nepaaugstinās.
8 Slavējiet, tautas, mūsu Dievu,
lai dzird visi, kā skan tam slava,
9 kurš mūs licis dzīvo vidū
un mūsu kājām nav ļāvis klupt.
10 Tu esi mūs pārbaudījis, Dievs,
mūs pārkausējis, kā pārkausē sudrabu,
11 tu esi mūs ievedis slazdā,
uzlicis slogu uz mūsu gurniem,
12 ļāvis, lai auļo pār mūsu galvām!
Mēs gājām caur uguni un ūdeni,
līdz tu mūs izvedi veldzē!
13 Es nākšu tavā namā nest sadedzināmo upuri,
tev samaksāšu, ko solījis,
14 ko bildušas manas lūpas,
ko es sacīju savās bēdās!
15 Tev sadedzināmā upurī – baroti jēri!
Dūmos izsmaržot likšu auniem,
upurēšu vēršus un āžus!
16 Nāciet klausieties, stāstīšu jums –
visiem, kas bijā Dievu, –
ko viņš darījis manai dvēselei!
17 Viņu es saucu skaļā balsī,
viņu cildināja mana mēle.
18 Ja es būtu lolojis sirdī ļaunu,
Kungs manī neklausītos!
19 Taču Dievs klausījās,
viņš sadzirdēja manas lūgšanas.
20 Slavēts Dievs, kurš nav atmetis manu lūgšanu,
nedz atrāvis man savu žēlastību!
