Psalms 66

1 Make a joyful noise to God, all you lands:

2 Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.

3 Say to God, How terrible are you in your works! through the greatness of your power shall your enemies submit themselves to you.

4 All the earth shall worship you, and shall sing to you; they shall sing to your name. (Selah)

5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

7 He rules by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)

8 O bless our God, you people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

9 Which holds our soul in life, and suffers not our feet to be moved.

10 For you, O God, have proved us: you have tried us, as silver is tried.

11 You brought us into the net; you laid affliction on our loins.

12 You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but you brought us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will go into your house with burnt offerings: I will pay you my vows,

14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth has spoken, when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer to you burnt sacrifices of fatted calves, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)

16 Come and hear, all you that fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.

17 I cried to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

19 But truly God has heard me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

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