Psalms 66

Praise for God’s mighty deeds and for his answer to prayer.

For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm.

¹Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:

²Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious.

³Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

⁴All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah

⁵Come, and see the works of God; [He is] terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

⁶He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him.

⁷He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

⁸Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;

⁹Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved.

¹⁰For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

¹¹Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.

¹²Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

¹³I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,

¹⁴Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.

¹⁵I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah

¹⁶Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

¹⁷I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue.

¹⁸If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:

¹⁹But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me.
