Psalms 66

1 To the choirmaster a song a psalm shout for joy to God O all the earth.

For the leader. A song. A psalm. Shout to God, all the earth,

2 Sing praises [the] glory of name his make glory praise his.

sing praise to his glorious name, sing his glorious praise.

3 Say to God how! awesome [are] deeds your in [the] greatness of strength your they cringe to you enemies your.

Say to God, ‘How dread are your works, so great is your might that your enemies cringe to you.

4 All the earth - they bow down to you so they may sing praises to you they sing praises to name your (Selah)

All the earth does homage to you, singing praises to you, singing praise to your name.’ (Selah)

5 Come and see [the] works of God [who is] awesome of deed on [the] children of humankind.

Come and see what God has done, awe-inspiring is he in his works among people.

6 He turned [the] sea - into dry land in the river they passed on foot there let us rejoice in him.

He turns the sea into dry land, and people cross the river on foot. Let us therefore rejoice in him,

7 [he is] ruling By might his - forever eyes his on the nations they keep watch the rebellious [people] - may not (they be exalted *Q(K)*) themselves (Selah)

the mighty Ruler eternal, whose eyes keep watch on the nations, that no rebel lift up his head. (Selah)

8 Bless O peoples - God our and make heard [the] sound of praise his.

O bless our God, you peoples; sound aloud his praise,

9 [who] placed Self our in life and not he has permitted to slip foot our.

who keeps us in life, and keeps our feet from slipping.

10 For you have tested us O God you have refined us as refine silver.

For you, God, have tested us, have tried us, as silver is tried.

11 You have brought us in the net you have put affliction on hips our.

You did bring us into prison, and put chains upon us,

12 You have made ride a man to head our we have gone in fire and in water and you have brought out us to superfluity.

you did let people ride over our head. We went through fire and through water, but you led us out to a spacious place.

13 I will come house your with burnt offerings I will pay to you vows my.

I will enter your house with burnt-offerings, I will pay to you my vows,

14 Which they opened lips my and it spoke mouth my when it was distress to me.

which my open lips have uttered, arid my mouth has declared in my straits.

15 Burnt offerings of fatlings I will offer up to you with [the] smoke of rams I will offer cattle with goats (Selah)

I will offer you offerings of fatlings, with the odour of burning rams, I will sacrifice bullocks with goats. (Selah)

16 Come listen so let me recount O all [those] fearing God [that] which he has done for self my.

Come and hear my story all who fear God – of what he has done for me.

17 To him mouth my I called out and exaltation [was] under tongue my.

For my mouth had no sooner invoked him than his praise was under my tongue.

18 Wickedness if I had considered in heart my not he will listen - [the] Lord.

Had I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would never have listened.

19 Nevertheless he has heard God he has paid attention to [the] sound of prayer my.

But assuredly God has listened, and attended to my loud prayer.

20 [be] blessed God who not he has turned aside prayer my and covenant loyalty his from with me.

Blessed be God, who turned not aside my prayer, nor withdrew his kindness from me.
