< Psalms 66 >

1 “To the chief musician, a song or psalm.” Shout joyfully unto God, all ye lands:
לַמְנַצֵּחַ שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר הָרִיעוּ לֵאלֹהִים כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
2 Sing forth the glory of his name; make glorious his praise.
זַמְּרוּ כְבֽוֹד־שְׁמוֹ שִׂימוּ כָבוֹד תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃
3 Say unto God, How fear-inspiring is every one of thy works! through the greatness of thy strength will thy enemies yield feigned obedience unto thee.
אִמְרוּ לֵאלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָא מַעֲשֶׂיךָ בְּרֹב עֻזְּךָ יְֽכַחֲשׁוּ לְךָ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃
4 All the lands shall bow themselves down unto thee, and shall sing praises unto thee; they shall sing praises to thy name. (Selah)
כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ ׀ יִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְךָ וִיזַמְּרוּ־לָךְ יְזַמְּרוּ שִׁמְךָ סֶֽלָה׃
5 Come and see the deeds of God: fear-inspiring is his doing toward the children of men.
לְכוּ וּרְאוּ מִפְעֲלוֹת אֱלֹהִים נוֹרָא עֲלִילָה עַל־בְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃
6 He changed the sea into dry land: through the river they went on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
הָפַךְ יָם ׀ לְֽיַבָּשָׁה בַּנָּהָר יַעַבְרוּ בְרָגֶל שָׁם נִשְׂמְחָה־בּֽוֹ׃
7 He ruleth by his might for ever; his eyes look upon the nations: the rebellious—these shall not be exalted. (Selah)
מֹשֵׁל בִּגְבוּרָתוֹ ׀ עוֹלָם עֵינָיו בַּגּוֹיִם תִּצְפֶּינָה הַסּוֹרְרִים ׀ אַל־[יָרוּמוּ] (ירימו) לָמוֹ סֶֽלָה׃
8 Bless, O ye people, our God, and cause the voice of his praise to be heard:
בָּרְכוּ עַמִּים ׀ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְהַשְׁמִיעוּ קוֹל תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃
9 Who hath appointed our soul to life, and hath not suffered our foot to slip.
הַשָּׂם נַפְשֵׁנוּ בַּחַיִּים וְלֹֽא־נָתַן לַמּוֹט רַגְלֵֽנוּ׃
10 For thou hast proved us, O God: thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.
כִּֽי־בְחַנְתָּנוּ אֱלֹהִים צְרַפְתָּנוּ כִּצְרׇף־כָּֽסֶף׃
11 Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast placed fetters upon our loins.
הֲבֵאתָנוּ בַמְּצוּדָה שַׂמְתָּ מוּעָקָה בְמׇתְנֵֽינוּ׃
12 Thou hast caused men to ride on our head: we entered into fire and into water; but thou broughtest us out to [the enjoyment] of overflowing plenty. a
הִרְכַּבְתָּ אֱנוֹשׁ לְרֹאשֵׁנוּ בָּֽאנוּ־בָאֵשׁ וּבַמַּיִם וַתּוֹצִיאֵנוּ לָרְוָיָֽה׃
13 I will enter thy house with burnt-offerings: I will pay unto thee my vows,
אָבוֹא בֵיתְךָ בְעוֹלוֹת אֲשַׁלֵּם לְךָ נְדָרָֽי׃
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.
אֲשֶׁר־פָּצוּ שְׂפָתָי וְדִבֶּר־פִּי בַּצַּר־לִֽי׃
15 Burnt-offerings of fatlings will I offer up unto thee, with the incense of rams; I will prepare steers with he-goats. (Selah)
עֹלוֹת מֵיחִים אַֽעֲלֶה־לָּךְ עִם־קְטֹרֶת אֵילִים אֶעֱשֶֽׂה בָקָר עִם־עַתּוּדִים סֶֽלָה׃
16 Come, hear, and I will relate, all ye that fear God, what he hath done for my soul.
לְכוּ־שִׁמְעוּ וַאֲסַפְּרָה כׇּל־יִרְאֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃
17 Unto him I cried with my mouth, and a song of extolling was on my tongue.
אֵלָיו פִּֽי־קָרָאתִי וְרוֹמַם תַּחַת לְשׁוֹנִֽי׃
18 If I had looked on wickedness with my heart, the Lord would not have heard;
אָוֶן אִם־רָאִיתִי בְלִבִּי לֹא יִשְׁמַע ׀ אֲדֹנָֽי׃
19 But verily God hath heard; he hath listened to the voice of my prayer.
אָכֵן שָׁמַע אֱלֹהִים הִקְשִׁיב בְּקוֹל תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃
20 Blessed be God, who hath not removed my prayer [from him], nor his kindness from me.
בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־הֵסִיר תְּפִלָּתִי וְחַסְדּוֹ מֵאִתִּֽי׃
