Psalms 66

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

To him that excelleth. A song or Psalme. Rejoice in God, all ye inhabitants of the earth.

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

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

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

Say vnto God, Howe terrible art thou in thy workes! through the greatnesse of thy power shall thine enemies be in subiection vnto thee.

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

All the worlde shall worship thee, and sing vnto thee, euen sing of thy Name. (Selah)

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

Come and beholde the workes of God: he is terrible in his doing towarde the sonnes of men.

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

He hath turned the Sea into drie land: they passe through the riuer on foote: there did we reioyce in him.

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

He ruleth the worlde with his power: his eyes beholde the nations: the rebellious shall not exalt them selues. (Selah)

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

Prayse our God, ye people, and make the voyce of his prayse to be heard.

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

Which holdeth our soules in life, and suffereth not our feete to slippe.

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

For thou, O God, hast proued vs, thou hast tryed vs as siluer is tryed.

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

Thou hast brought vs into the snare, and layed a strait chaine vpon our loynes.

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 caused men to ryde ouer our heads: we went into fire and into water, but thou broughtest vs out into a welthie place.

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

I will go into thine House with burnt offrings, and will pay thee my vowes,

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

Which my lippes haue promised, and my mouth hath spoken in mine affliction.

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

I will offer vnto thee the burnt offerings of fat rammes with incense: I will prepare bullocks and goates. (Selah)

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

Come and hearken, all ye that feare God, and I will tell you what he hath done to my soule.

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

I called vnto him with my mouth, and he was exalted with my tongue.

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

If I regard wickednesse in mine heart, the Lord will not heare me.

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

But God hath heard me, and considered the voyce of my prayer.

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

Praysed be God, which hath not put backe my prayer, nor his mercie from me.
