1 <To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm.> Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:

1 לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ שִׁ֣יר מִזְמֹ֑ור הָרִ֥יעוּ לֵ֝אלֹהִים כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

2 Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.

2 זַמְּר֥וּ כְבֹֽוד־שְׁמֹ֑ו שִׂ֥ימוּ כָ֝בֹ֗וד תְּהִלָּתֹֽו׃

3 Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.

3 אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נֹּורָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃

4 Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah.)

4 כָּל־הָאָ֤רֶץ׀ יִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לְ֭ךָ וִֽיזַמְּרוּ־לָ֑ךְ יְזַמְּר֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ סֶֽלָה׃

5 Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.

5 לְכ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ מִפְעֲלֹ֣ות אֱלֹהִ֑ים נֹורָ֥א עֲ֝לִילָ֗ה עַל־בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃

6 The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.

6 הָ֤פַךְ יָ֨ם׀ לְֽיַבָּשָׁ֗ה בַּ֭נָּהָר יַֽעַבְר֣וּ בְרָ֑גֶל ם נִשְׂמְחָה־בֹּֽו׃

7 He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.)

7 מֹ֘שֵׁ֤ל בִּגְבוּרָתֹ֨ו׀ עֹולָ֗ם עֵ֭ינָיו בַּגֹּויִ֣ם תִּצְפֶּ֑ינָה הַסֹּורְרִ֓ים׀ אַל־ יָרִימוּ יָר֖וּמוּ לָ֣מֹו סֶֽלָה׃

8 Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;

8 בָּרְכ֖וּ עַמִּ֥ים׀ אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְ֝הַשְׁמִ֗יעוּ קֹ֣ול תְּהִלָּתֹֽו׃

9 Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

9 הַשָּׂ֣ם נַ֭פְשֵׁנוּ בַּֽחַיִּ֑ים וְלֹֽא־נָתַ֖ן לַמֹּ֣וט רַגְלֵֽנוּ׃

10 For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

10 כִּֽי־בְחַנְתָּ֥נוּ אֱלֹהִ֑ים צְ֝רַפְתָּ֗נוּ כִּצְרָף־כָּֽסֶף׃

11 You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.

11 הֲבֵאתָ֥נוּ בַמְּצוּדָ֑ה שַׂ֖מְתָּ מוּעָקָ֣ה בְמָתְנֵֽינוּ׃

12 You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.

12 הִרְכַּ֥בְתָּ אֱנֹ֗ושׁ לְרֹ֫אשֵׁ֥נוּ בָּֽאנוּ־בָאֵ֥שׁ וּבַמַּ֑יִם וַ֝תֹּוצִיאֵ֗נוּ לָֽרְוָיָֽה׃

13 I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,

13 אָבֹ֣וא בֵיתְךָ֣ בְעֹולֹ֑ות אֲשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְךָ֣ נְדָרָֽי׃

14 Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.

14 אֲשֶׁר־פָּצ֥וּ שְׂפָתָ֑י וְדִבֶּר־פִּ֝֗י בַּצַּר־לִֽי׃

15 I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah.)

15 עֹ֘לֹ֤ות מֵחִ֣ים אַעֲלֶה־לָּ֭ךְ עִם־קְטֹ֣רֶת אֵילִ֑ים אֶ֥עֱשֶֽׂה בָקָ֖ר עִם־עַתּוּדִ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃

16 Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.

16 לְכֽוּ־שִׁמְע֣וּ וַ֭אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־יִרְאֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר עָשָׂ֣ה לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃

17 My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.

17 אֵלָ֥יו פִּֽי־קָרָ֑אתִי וְ֝רֹומַ֗ם תַּ֣חַת לְשֹׁונִֽי׃

18 I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:

18 אָ֭וֶן אִם־רָאִ֣יתִי בְלִבִּ֑י לֹ֖א יִשְׁמַ֣ע׀ אֲדֹנָֽי׃

19 But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.

19 אָ֭כֵן שָׁמַ֣ע אֱלֹהִ֑ים הִ֝קְשִׁ֗יב בְּקֹ֣ול תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃

20 Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.

20 בָּר֥וּךְ אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־הֵסִ֘יר תְּפִלָּתִ֥י וְ֝חַסְדֹּ֗ו מֵאִתִּֽי׃
