Psalms 66

1 Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of the Resurrection. Shout joyfully 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 Proclaim a psalm to his name. Give glory to his praise.

Sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.

3 Exclaim to God, “How terrible are your works, O Lord!” According to the fullness of your virtue, your enemies will speak lies about 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 adore you and sing psalms to you. May it sing a psalm to your name.

Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.

5 Draw near and see the works of God, who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

6 He converts the sea into dry land. They will cross the river on foot. There, we will 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 He rules by his virtue for eternity. His eyes gaze upon the nations. May those who exasperate him, not be exalted in themselves.

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 be heard.

O bless our God, ye Gentiles: and make the voice of his praise to be heard.

9 He has set my soul toward life, and he has granted that my feet may not be shaken.

Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:

10 For you, O God, have tested us. You have examined us by fire, just as silver is examined.

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

11 You have led us into a snare. You have placed tribulations on our back.

Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:

12 You have set men over our heads. We have crossed through fire and water. And you have led us out to 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 enter your house with holocausts. I will repay my vows to you,

I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

14 which my lips discerned and my mouth spoke, in my tribulation.

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

15 I will offer to you holocausts full of marrow, with the burnt offerings of rams. I will offer to you bulls as well as goats.

I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.

16 Draw near and listen, all you who fear God, and I will describe to you how much 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 out to him with my mouth, and I extolled him under my breath.

I cried to him with my mouth: and I extolled him with my tongue.

18 If I have seen iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not heed me.

If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

19 And yet, God has heeded me and he has attended to the voice of my supplication.

Therefore hath God heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.

20 Blessed is God, who has not removed my prayer, nor his mercy, from me.

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