Psalms 66

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

To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all ye lands:

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

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

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

Say to God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit themselves to thee.

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

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

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

Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his] doing towards the children of men.

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

He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the flood on foot: there we rejoiced in him.

7 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)

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

8 Bless our God, you Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

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

9 who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.

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

10 For you, O God, has proved us; you have tried us with fire 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 snare; you laid afflictions on our back.

Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast laid affliction upon our loins.

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

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].

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

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

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

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

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

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

16 Come, hear, and I will tell, all you that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.

Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17 I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.

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

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

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not hear [me]:

19 Therefore God has listened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

[But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, who has 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.
