| 3. | Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you. | 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. | Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. | ||

| 9. | who preserves our life among the living, and doesn't allow our feet to be moved. | Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved. | Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. | ||
| 10. | For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined. | For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver. | For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. | ||
| 11. | You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs. | You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs. | Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. | ||
| 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. | You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place. | Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. | ||
| 13. | I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you, | I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you, | I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, | ||
| 14. | which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress. | Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble. | Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. | ||
| 15. | I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah. | I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah.) | I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. | ||
| 16. | Come, and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul. | 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. | Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. | ||
| 17. | I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue. | My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld. | I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. | ||
| 18. | If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn't have listened. | I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me: | If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: | ||
| 19. | But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer. | But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer. | But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. | ||
| 20. | Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me. | Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me. | Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. | ||
