Psalms 66

1 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth.

To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm. Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:

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

Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;

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

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.

4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing to thee. They shall sing to thy name. (Selah)

All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. (Selah)

5 Come, and see the works of God, awesome in actions toward the sons of men.

Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in [his] doings toward the children of men.

6 He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him.

He turned the sea into dry [land]; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

7 He rules by his might forever. His eyes observe the nations. Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)

He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)

8 O bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard,

Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

9 who holds our soul in life, and does not allow our feet to be moved.

Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

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

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

11 Thou brought us into the net. Thou laid a great burden upon our loins.

Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;

12 Thou caused men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water. But thou brought us out into a wealthy place.

Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.

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

I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,

14 which my lips uttered, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer to thee burnt offerings of fatlings, with the incense of rams. I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)

I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)

16 Come, and hear, all ye who fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.

Come, 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, and he was extolled with my tongue.

I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear.

Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.

19 But truly God has heard. He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

But God hath heard; 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.

Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!
