Psalms 66

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

For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection. Shout to God, all the earth.

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

O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.

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 to God, How awful are your works! through the greatness of your power your enemies shall lie to you.

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

Let all the earth worship you, and sing to you; let them sing to your name. (Pause)

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

Come and behold the works of God; [he is] terrible in [his] counsels beyond 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.

Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,

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

who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke [him] be exalted in themselves. (Pause)

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

Bless our God, you Gentiles, 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 quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.

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

For you, O God, has proved us; you have tried us with fire as silver is tried.

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

You brought us into the snare; you laid afflictions on our back.

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.

You did mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but you brought us out into [a place of] refreshment.

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

I will go into your house with whole burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows,

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

which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.

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 to you whole burnt sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to you oxen with goats. (Pause)

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

Come, hear, and I will tell, all you that fear God, how great things he has 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 exalted him with my tongue.

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

If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord listen [to me].

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

Therefore God has listened to 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.

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