Make a joyful noise

(Psalm 100:1-5)
1
To him that excelleth. A song or Psalme. Rejoice in God, all ye inhabitants of the earth.
2
Sing forth the glory of his name: make his praise glorious.
3
Say vnto God, Howe terrible art thou in thy workes! through the greatnesse of thy power shall thine enemies be in subiection vnto thee.
4
All the worlde shall worship thee, and sing vnto thee, euen sing of thy Name. Selah.
5
Come and beholde the workes of God: he is terrible in his doing towarde the sonnes of men.
6
He hath turned the Sea into drie land: they passe through the riuer on foote: there did we reioyce in him.
7
He ruleth the worlde with his power: his eyes beholde the nations: the rebellious shall not exalt them selues. Selah.
8
Prayse our God, ye people, and make the voyce of his prayse to be heard.
9
Which holdeth our soules in life, and suffereth not our feete to slippe.
10
For thou, O God, hast proued vs, thou hast tryed vs as siluer is tryed.
11
Thou hast brought vs into the snare, and layed a strait chaine vpon our loynes.
12
Thou hast caused men to ryde ouer our heads: we went into fire and into water, but thou broughtest vs out into a welthie place.
13
I will go into thine House with burnt offrings, and will pay thee my vowes,
14
Which my lippes haue promised, and my mouth hath spoken in mine affliction.
15
I will offer vnto thee the burnt offerings of fat rammes with incense: I will prepare bullocks and goates. Selah.
16
Come and hearken, all ye that feare God, and I will tell you what he hath done to my soule.
17
I called vnto him with my mouth, and he was exalted with my tongue.
18
If I regard wickednesse in mine heart, the Lord will not heare me.
19
But God hath heard me, and considered the voyce of my prayer.
20
Praysed be God, which hath not put backe my prayer, nor his mercie from me.

Make a joyful noise

(Psalm 100:1-5)
1
Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2
Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!
3
Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.
4
All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” Selah.
5
Come, and see God’s deeds awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
6
He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.
7
He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.
8
Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard,
9
who preserves our life among the living, and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.
10
For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.
11
You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.
12
You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.
13
I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,
14
which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
15
I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.
16
Come and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17
I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
18
If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.
19
But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.
20
Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.
