< Psalms 66 >

1 For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection. Shout to God, all the earth.
Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection. Shout with joy to God, all the earth,
2 O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.
Sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.
3 Say to God, How awful are your works! through the greatness of your power your enemies shall lie to you.
Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.
4 Let all the earth worship you, and sing to you; let them sing to your name. (Pause)
Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.
5 Come and behold the works of God; [he is] terrible in [his] counsels beyond the children of men.
Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.
6 Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,
Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass 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)
Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him he exalted in themselves.
8 Bless our God, you Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
O 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.
Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:
10 For you, O God, has proved us; you have tried us with fire as silver is tried.
For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us by fire, as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into the snare; you laid afflictions on our back.
Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:
12 You did mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but you brought us out into [a place of] refreshment.
Thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through tire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.
13 I will go into your house with whole burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows,
I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.
Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to you whole burnt sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to you oxen with goats. (Pause)
I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.
16 Come, hear, and I will tell, all you that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.
Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what great things he hath done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.
I cried to him with my mouth: and I extolled him with my tongue.
18 If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord listen [to me].
If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.
19 Therefore God has listened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Therefore hath God heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.
20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
