Psalms 66

1 Make a joyful noise unto Elohim, all ye lands:

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

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

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

3 Say unto Elohim, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

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

4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. (Selah)

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

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

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.

He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there let us rejoice in Him!

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

Who ruleth by His might for ever; His eyes keep watch upon the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)

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

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

9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

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

10 For thou, O Elohim, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

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

11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

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

12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

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

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

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

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

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

15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)

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

16 Come and hear, all ye that fear Elohim, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

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

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

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

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

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

19 But verily Elohim hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

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

20 Blessed be Elohim, which 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.
