Make a Joyful Noise (Psalm 100:1–5)
1 Brenton For the end, a Song of a Psalm of resurrection. Shout unto God, all the earth. BSB BSB: For the choirmaster. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!
2 Brenton O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise. BSB BSB: Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.
3 Brenton Say unto God, How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee. BSB BSB: Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.
4 Brenton Let all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee; let them sing to thy name. Pause. BSB BSB: All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.” Selah
5 Brenton Come and behold the works of God; he is terrible in his counsels beyond the children of men. BSB BSB: Come and see the works of God; how awesome are His deeds toward mankind.
6 Brenton Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him, BSB BSB: He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the waters on foot; there we rejoiced in Him.
7 Brenton who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves. Pause. BSB BSB: He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8 Brenton Bless our God, ye Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard; BSB BSB: Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard.
9 Brenton who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved. BSB BSB: He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from slipping.
10 Brenton For thou, O God, hast proved us; thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried. BSB BSB: For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver.
11 Brenton Thou broughtest us into the snare; thou laidest afflictions on our back. BSB BSB: You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.
12 Brenton Thou didst mount men upon our heads; we went through fire and water; but thou broughtest us out into a place of refreshment. BSB BSB: You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance.
13 Brenton I will go into thine house with whole-burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows, BSB BSB: I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—
14 Brenton which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction. BSB BSB: the vows that my lips promised and my mouth spoke in my distress.
15 Brenton I will offer to thee whole-burnt-sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to thee oxen with goats. Pause. BSB BSB: I will offer You fatlings as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah
16 Brenton Come, hear, and I will tell, all ye that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul. BSB BSB: Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me.
17 Brenton I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue. BSB BSB: I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.
18 Brenton If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord hearken to me . BSB BSB: If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
19 Brenton Therefore God has hearkened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. BSB BSB: But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer.
20 Brenton Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. BSB BSB: Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld from me His loving devotion!
