Psalms 66

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

For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm.

¹To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.

²Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;

³sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise!

⁴Say to God, "How terrible are thy deeds! So great is thy power that thy enemies cringe before thee.

⁵All the earth worships thee; they sing praises to thee, sing praises to thy name." [Selah]

⁶Come and see what God has done: he is terrible in his deeds among men.

⁷He turned the sea into dry land; men passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him,

⁸who rules by his might for ever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations-- let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah]

⁹Bless our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard,

¹⁰who has kept us among the living, and has not let our feet slip.

¹¹For thou, O God, hast tested us; thou hast tried us as silver is tried.

¹²Thou didst bring us into the net; thou didst lay affliction on our loins;

¹³thou didst let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet thou hast brought us forth to a spacious place.

¹⁴I will come into thy house with burnt offerings; I will pay thee my vows,

¹⁵that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.

¹⁶I will offer to thee burnt offerings of fatlings, with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams; I will make an offering of bulls and goats. [Selah]

¹⁷Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me.

¹⁸I cried aloud to him, and he was extolled with my tongue.

¹⁹If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

²⁰But truly God has listened; he has given heed to the voice of my prayer. [ (Psalms 66:21) Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me! ]
