Psalms 66

1 For the Leader. A Song, a Psalm. Shout unto God, all the earth;

Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection. Shout with joy to God, all the earth,

2 Sing praises unto the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.

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

3 Say unto God: 'How tremendous is Thy work! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies dwindle away before Thee.

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.

4 All the earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing praises unto Thee; they shall sing praises to Thy name.' (Selah)

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

5 Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men.

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

6 He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there let us 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 ruleth by His might for ever; His eyes keep watch upon the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)

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, ye peoples, 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 hath set our soul in life, and suffered not our foot to be moved,

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

10 For Thou, O God, hast tried us; Thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.

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

11 Thou didst bring us into the hold; Thou didst lay constraint upon our loins.

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

12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but Thou didst bring us out unto abundance.

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 come into Thy house with burnt-offerings, I will perform unto Thee my vows,

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

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

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

15 I will offer unto Thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, with the sweet smoke of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)

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, and hearken, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath 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 unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.

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

18 If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear;

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

19 But verily God hath heard; He hath 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 hath 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.
