Psalms 66
1 [For the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm.] Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth.
| לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ שִׁ֣יר מִזְמֹ֑ור הָרִ֥יעוּ לֵ֝אלֹהִים כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
2 Sing to the glory of his name. Offer glory and praise.
| זַמְּר֥וּ כְבֹֽוד־שְׁמֹ֑ו שִׂ֥ימוּ כָ֝בֹ֗וד תְּהִלָּתֹֽו׃ |
3 Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds. Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.
| אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נֹּורָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃ |
4 All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name." (Selah)
| כָּל־הָאָ֤רֶץ ׀ יִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לְ֭ךָ וִֽיזַמְּרוּ־לָ֑ךְ יְזַמְּר֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ סֶֽלָה׃ |
5 Come, and see God's deeds—awesome work on behalf of the descendants of Adam.
| לְכ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ מִפְעֲלֹ֣ות אֱלֹהִ֑ים נֹורָ֥א עֲ֝לִילָ֗ה עַל־בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ |
6 He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.
| הָ֤פַךְ יָ֨ם ׀ לְֽיַבָּשָׁ֗ה בַּ֭נָּהָר יַֽעַבְר֣וּ בְרָ֑גֶל שָׁ֝֗ם נִשְׂמְחָה־בֹּֽו׃ |
7 He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious rise up against him. (Selah)
| מֹ֘שֵׁ֤ל בִּגְבוּרָתֹ֨ו ׀ עֹולָ֗ם עֵ֭ינָיו בַּגֹּויִ֣ם תִּצְפֶּ֑ינָה הַסֹּורְרִ֓ים ׀ אַל־יָרִימוּ (יָר֖וּמוּ) לָ֣מֹו סֶֽלָה׃ |
8 Praise our God, you peoples. Make the sound of his praise heard,
| בָּרְכ֖וּ עַמִּ֥ים ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְ֝הַשְׁמִ֗יעוּ קֹ֣ול תְּהִלָּתֹֽו׃ |
9 who preserves our life among the living, and doesn't allow our feet to be moved.
| הַשָּׂ֣ם נַ֭פְשֵׁנוּ בַּֽחַיִּ֑ים וְלֹֽא־נָתַ֖ן לַמֹּ֣וט רַגְלֵֽנוּ׃ |
10 For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.
| כִּֽי־בְחַנְתָּ֥נוּ אֱלֹהִ֑ים צְ֝רַפְתָּ֗נוּ כִּצְרָף־כָּֽסֶף׃ |
11 You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.
| הֲבֵאתָ֥נוּ בַמְּצוּדָ֑ה שַׂ֖מְתָּ מוּעָקָ֣ה בְמָתְנֵֽינוּ׃ |
12 You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us out to a spacious place.
| הִרְכַּ֥בְתָּ אֱנֹ֗ושׁ לְרֹ֫אשֵׁ֥נוּ בָּֽאנוּ־בָאֵ֥שׁ וּבַמַּ֑יִם וַ֝תֹּוצִיאֵ֗נוּ לָֽרְוָיָֽה׃ |
13 I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,
| אָבֹ֣וא בֵיתְךָ֣ בְעֹולֹ֑ות אֲשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְךָ֣ נְדָרָֽי׃ |
14 which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
| אֲשֶׁר־פָּצ֥וּ שְׂפָתָ֑י וְדִבֶּר־פִּ֝֗י בַּצַּר־לִֽי׃ |
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. (Selah)
| עֹ֘לֹ֤ות מֵחִ֣ים אַעֲלֶה־לָּ֭ךְ עִם־קְטֹ֣רֶת אֵילִ֑ים אֶ֥עֱשֶֽׂה בָקָ֖ר עִם־עַתּוּדִ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃ |
16 Come, and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.
| לְכֽוּ־שִׁמְע֣וּ וַ֭אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־יִרְאֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר עָשָׂ֣ה לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
17 I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
| אֵלָ֥יו פִּֽי־קָרָ֑אתִי וְ֝רֹומַ֗ם תַּ֣חַת לְשֹׁונִֽי׃ |
18 If I cherished sin in my heart, YHWH wouldn't have listened.
| אָ֭וֶן אִם־רָאִ֣יתִי בְלִבִּ֑י לֹ֖א יִשְׁמַ֣ע ׀ אֲדֹנָֽי׃ |
19 But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.
| אָ֭כֵן שָׁמַ֣ע אֱלֹהִ֑ים הִ֝קְשִׁ֗יב בְּקֹ֣ול תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃ |
20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.
| בָּר֥וּךְ אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־הֵסִ֘יר תְּפִלָּתִ֥י וְ֝חַסְדֹּ֗ו מֵאִתִּֽי׃ |
