5 APs 46:8Come and see the works of God,
6 He AEx 14:21; Ps 106:9turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through BJosh 3:16; Ps 114:3the river on foot;
There let us CPs 105:43rejoice in Him!
7 He APs 145:13rules by His might forever;
His BPs 11:4eyes keep watch on the nations;
Let not the rebellious CPs 140:8exalt themselves. Selah.
8 Bless our God, O peoples,
And 1Lit cause to hear the sound of His praiseAPs 98:4sound His praise abroad,
And BPs 121:3does not allow our feet to 2Or dodder, stumbleslip.
10 For You have AJob 23:10; Ps 7:9; 17:3; 26:2tried us, O God;
You have BIs 48:10; Zech 13:9; Mal 3:3; 1 Pet 1:7refined us as silver is refined.
11 You ALam 1:13; Ezek 12:13brought us into the net;
You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.
12 You made men AIs 51:23ride over our heads;
We went through BPs 78:21; Is 43:2fire and through water,
Yet You CPs 18:19brought us out into a place of abundance.
13 I shall APs 96:8; Jer 17:26come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall BPs 22:25; 116:14; Eccl 5:4pay You my vows,
14 Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke when I was APs 18:6in distress.
15 I shall APs 51:19offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts,
With the smoke of BNum 6:14rams;
I shall make an offering of 1Or cattlebulls with male goats. Selah.
And I will BPs 71:15, 24tell of what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And 1Or praise was under my tongueHe was APs 30:1extolled with my tongue.

19 But certainly APs 18:6; 116:1, 2God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
20 APs 68:35Blessed be God,
Who BPs 22:24has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.
