Psalms 66

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A SONG. A PSALM. Shout to God, all the earth.

Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection. Shout with joy to God, all the earth,

2 Praise the glory of His Name, Make honorable His praise.

Sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.

3 Say to God, “How fearful Your works—By the abundance of Your strength, Your enemies feign obedience to You.

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.

4 All the earth bows to You, They sing praise to You, they praise Your Name.” (Selah)

Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.

5 Come, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.

Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

6 He has turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There we rejoice in Him.

Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there shall we rejoice in him.

7 Ruling by His might for all time, His eyes watch among the nations, The stubborn do not exalt themselves. (Selah)

Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him he exalted in themselves.

8 Bless our God you peoples, And sound the voice of His praise,

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

9 Who has placed our soul in life, And has not permitted our feet to be moved.

Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:

10 For You have tried us, O God, You have refined us as the refining of silver.

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

11 You have brought us into a net, You have placed pressure on our loins.

Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:

12 You have caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And You bring us out to a watered place.

Thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through tire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.

13 I enter Your house with burnt-offerings, I complete my vows to You,

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

14 For my lips were opened, And my mouth spoke in my distress:

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

15 “I offer to You burnt-offerings of fatlings, With incense of rams, I prepare a bullock with male goats.” (Selah)

I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.

16 Come, hear, all you who fear God, And I recount what He did for my soul.

Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what great things he hath done for my soul.

17 I have called to Him [with] my mouth, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.

I cried to him with my mouth: and I extolled him with my tongue.

18 Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord does not hear.

If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

19 But God has heard, He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

Therefore hath God heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.

20 Blessed [is] God, Who has not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!

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