Psalms 66

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

To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm. Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:

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

Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;

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

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.

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

All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy 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: he is terrible in [his] doings 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 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)

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

8 O bless our God, all of you 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 holds our soul in life, and suffers not our feet to be moved.

Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

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

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

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

Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon 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.

Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.

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

I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,

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

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

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

I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, 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.

Come, hear, 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 called unto 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:

Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.

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

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

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

Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!
