Psalms 66

1 For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection. Shout unto God, all the earth.

2 O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.

3 Say unto God, How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee.

4 Let all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee; let them sing to thy name. (Pause)

5 Come and behold the works of God; [he is] terrible in [his] counsels beyond the children of men.

6 Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,

7 who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke [him] be exalted in themselves. (Pause)

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

9 who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.

10 For thou, O God, has proved us; thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried.

11 Thou broughtest us into the snare; thou laidest afflictions on our back.

12 Thou didst mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but thou broughtest us out into [a place of] refreshment.

13 I will go into thine house with whole-burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,

14 which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.

15 I will offer to thee whole-burnt-sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to thee oxen with goats. (Pause)

16 Come, hear, and I will tell, all ye that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.

17 I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.

18 If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord hearken [to me].

19 Therefore God has hearkened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
