MSB PSA Chapter 66

Make a Joyful Noise

(Psalm 100:1–5)

For the choirmaster. A song. A Psalm.

Make a joyful noise to God,

all the earth!

2 

Sing the glory of His name;

make His praise glorious.

3 

Say to God,“How awesome are Your deeds

So great is Your power

that Your enemies cower before You.

4 

All the earth bows down to You;

they sing praise to You;

they sing praise to Your name.” Selah

5 

Come and see the works of God;

how awesome are His deeds toward vvv mankind.

6 

He turned the sea into dry land;

they passed through the waters on foot;

there we rejoiced in Him.

7 

He rules forever by His power;

His eyes watch the nations.

Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

8 

Bless our God, O peoples;

let the sound of His praise be heard.

9 

He preserves our lives

and keeps our feet from slipping.

10 

For You , O God, have tested us;

You have refined us like silver

11 

You led us into the net;

You laid burdens on our backs.

12 

You let men ride over our heads;

we went through fire and water,

but You brought us into abundance.

13 

I will enter Your house with burnt offerings;

I will fulfill my vows to You —

14 

[the vows] that my lips promised

and my mouth spoke in my distress

15 

I will offer You fatlings as burnt offerings,

with the fragrant smoke of rams;

I will offer bulls and goats. Selah

16 

Come and listen, all you who fear God,

and I will declare what He has done for me.

17 

I cried out to Him with my mouth

and praised Him with my tongue.[fn]

18 

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened.

19 

But God has surely heard;

He has attended to the sound of my prayer.

20 

Blessed [be] God, who has not rejected my prayer

or withheld from me His loving devotion!
