Rise up, O Lord, in all your power. With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts.

His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born. They will hear about everything he has done.

Then everyone will be afraid; they will proclaim the mighty acts of God and realize all the amazing things he does.

Our ancestors in Egypt were not impressed by the Lord’s miraculous deeds. They soon forgot his many acts of kindness to them. Instead, they rebelled against him at the Red Sea.

Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and sing joyfully about his glorious acts.

Don’t let me drift toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness. Don’t let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong.

Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power.
