font
DOUAI-RHEIMSNEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection. Shout with joy to God, all the earth,1 For the leader. A song; a psalm.
2 sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.2 Shout joyfully to God, all you on earth; sing of his glorious name; give him glorious praise.
3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.3 Say to God: "How awesome your deeds! Before your great strength your enemies cringe.
4 Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.4 All on earth fall in worship before you; they sing of you, sing of your name!" Selah
5 Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.5 Come and see the works of God, awesome in the deeds done for us.
6 Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there shall we rejoice in him.6 He changed the sea to dry land; through the river they passed on foot. Therefore let us rejoice in him,
7 Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him he exalted in themselves.7 who rules by might forever, Whose eyes are fixed upon the nations. Let no rebel rise to challenge! Selah
8 O bless our God, ye Gentiles: and make the voice of his praise to be heard.8 Bless our God, you peoples; loudly sound his praise,
9 Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:9 Who has kept us alive and not allowed our feet to slip.
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us by fire, as silver is tried.10 You tested us, O God, tried us as silver tried by fire.
11 Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:11 You led us into a snare; you bound us at the waist as captives.
12 thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through tire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.12 You let captors set foot on our neck; we went through fire and water; then you led us out to freedom.
13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,13 I will bring holocausts to your house; to you I will fulfill my vows,
14 which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.14 The vows my lips pronounced and my mouth spoke in distress.
15 I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.15 Holocausts of fatlings I will offer you and burnt offerings of rams; I will sacrifice oxen and goats. Selah
16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what great things he hath done for my soul.16 Come and hear, all you who fear God, while I recount what has been done for me.
17 I cried to him with my mouth: and I extolled him with my tongue.17 I called to the Lord with my mouth; praise was upon my tongue.
18 If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.18 Had I cherished evil in my heart, the Lord would not have heard.
19 Therefore hath God heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.19 But God did hear and listened to my voice in prayer.
20 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.20 Blessed be God, who did not refuse me the kindness I sought in prayer.
