A fanged snake in the path,
That bites the horse’s heels,

Of which men have sung.

When the morning stars sang together

Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

Therefore will I give thanks and praise You, O Lord, among the nations,
And sing praises to Your name.

And give thanks at the mention of His holy name.

And Your hand has pressed down on me and greatly disciplined me.

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear [with great reverence]
And will trust confidently in the Lord.

These things I [vividly] remember as I pour out my soul;
How I used to go along before the great crowd of people and lead them in procession to the house of God [like a choirmaster before his singers, timing the steps to the music and the chant of the song],
With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a great crowd keeping a festival.

Yet the Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And in the night His song will be with me,
A prayer to the God of my life.

For You have been my stronghold
And a refuge in the day of my distress.

To You, O [God] my strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my stronghold [my refuge, my protector, my high tower], the God who shows me [steadfast] lovingkindness.

So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
Paying my vows day by day.

By awesome and wondrous things You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation,
You who are the trust and hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

The meadows are clothed with flocks
And the valleys are covered with grain;
They shout for joy and they sing.

Sing of the honor and glory and magnificence of His name;
Make His praise glorious.

I have sunk in deep mire, where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters, where a flood overwhelms me.

They who sit in the [city’s] gate talk about me and mock me,
And I am the song of the drunkards.

Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink;
Let me be rescued from those who hate me and from the deep waters.

And magnify Him with thanksgiving.

I will also praise You with the harp,
Your truth and faithfulness, O my God;
To You I will sing praises with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.

My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You,
And my soul, which You have redeemed.

But as for me, I will declare it and rejoice forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit searches:

The fire [of war] devoured His young men,
And His [bereaved] virgins had no wedding songs.

Sing aloud to God our strength;
Shout for joy to the God of Jacob (Israel).

Raise a song, sound the timbrel,
The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.

My soul (my life, my inner self) longs for and greatly desires the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

I will sing of the goodness and lovingkindness of the Lord forever;
With my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness from generation to generation.

It is a good and delightful thing to give thanks to the Lord,
To sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

For You, O Lord, have made me glad by Your works;
At the works of Your hands I joyfully sing.

O come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord;
Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.

O sing to the Lord a new song;
Sing to the Lord, all the earth!

Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.

Let the field be exultant, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

O sing to the Lord a new song,
For He has done marvelous and wonderful things;
His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him.

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth;
Shout [in jubilation] and sing for joy and sing praises.
