Praise for God's Mighty Deeds and for his Answer to Prayer.
For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm.
1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:
A joyful noise – The Lord can get along without trained choirs. What he desires is that all should praise him in their hearts. R2511:3

All ye lands – All the world. R5500:3


2 Sing forth the glory of his name:
Make his praise glorious.
3 Say unto God, How awesome are thy works!
Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4 All the earth shall worship thee,
And shall sing unto thee;
They shall sing to thy name. {Selah
5 Come, and see the works of God;
He is awesome in his doing toward the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land;
They went through the river on foot:
There did we rejoice in him.
7 He ruleth by his might for ever;
His eyes observe the nations:
Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. {Selah
8 Oh bless our God, ye peoples,
And make the voice of his praise to be heard;
Our God – His name is Faithfulness. R5501:2

Ye people – Primarily relates to natural Israel--even more appropriately to spiritual Israel. R5500:6


9 Who holdeth our soul in life,
And suffereth not our feet to be moved.
Feet to be moved – They were not vanquished by their enemies as long as they trusted and obeyed; so with spiritual Israel. R5500:6

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us:
Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
Proved us – Probed our heart within. R187:5

11 Thou brougthest us into the net;
Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.
12 Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But thou brougthest us out into a wealthy place.
13 I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings;
I will pay thee my vows,
Pay thee my vows – Which David had made in the time of his trouble. R5500:3

14 Which my lips uttered,
And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.
15 I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,
With the incense of rams;
I will offer a bullock with goats. {Selah
16 Come, and hear, all ye that fear God,
And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17 I cried unto him with my mouth,
And he was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,
Jehovah will not hear:
If I regard iniquity – Pray, being free from condemnation. R5380:3*

Having prayed against sin, be sure you watch against it. R585:3*

To take the name of God, claiming to be Christians, without determination and effort to fairly represent him, is a sin against God. R1527:6

In my heart – We are to be loyal to the very core or God will reject us. SM346:1

The Lord will not hear – "God heareth not sinners." (John 9:31) R2024:1

To undertake the Christian life is to engage in a great warfare against iniquity. R1527:6

"Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." (2 Tim. 2:19) R1527:6


19 But truly God hath heard;
He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God,
Who hath not turned away my prayer,
Nor his lovingkindness from me.
