Psalms 66

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

TO THE OVERSEER. A SONG. A PSALM. Shout to God, all the earth.

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

Praise the glory of His Name, Make honorable 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 to God, “How fearful Your works—By the abundance of Your strength, Your enemies feign obedience to You.

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

All the earth bows to You, They sing praise to You, they praise Your Name.” (Selah)

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, Fearful acts toward 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!

He has turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There 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)

Ruling by His might for all time, His eyes watch among the nations, The stubborn do not exalt themselves. (Selah)

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

Bless our God you peoples, And sound the voice of His praise,

9 Who hath set our soul in life, and suffered not our foot to be moved,

Who has placed our soul in life, And has not permitted our feet to be moved.

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

For You have tried us, O God, You have refined us as the refining of silver.

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

You have brought us into a net, You have placed pressure on our loins.

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.

You have caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And You bring us out to a watered place.

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

I enter Your house with burnt-offerings, I complete my vows to You,

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

For my lips were opened, And my mouth spoke in my distress:

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

“I offer to You burnt-offerings of fatlings, With incense of rams, I prepare a bullock with male goats.” (Selah)

16 Come, and hearken, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul.

Come, hear, all you who fear God, And I recount what He did for my soul.

17 I cried unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.

I have called to Him [with] my mouth, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.

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

Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord does not hear.

19 But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

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

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

Blessed [is] God, Who has not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
