Psalms 66

1 For the chief musician. A song, a psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;

For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:

2 Sing out the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.

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

3 Say to God, “How terrifying are your deeds! By the greatness of your power your enemies will submit to you.

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

4 All the earth will worship you and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” (Selah)

All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. (Selah)

5 Come and see the works of God; he is fearsome in his deeds toward the sons of mankind.

Come, and see the works of God; [He is] terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

6 He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there we rejoiced in him.

He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him.

7 He rules forever by his might; his eyes observe the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)

He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)

8 Give blessing to God, you people, let the sound of his praise be heard.

Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;

9 He keeps us among the living, and he does not permit our feet to slip.

Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10 For you, God, have tested us; you have tested us as silver is tested.

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

11 You brought us into a net; you laid a heavy burden on our backs.

Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.

12 You made people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us out into a spacious place.

Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows

I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,

14 which my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in distress.

Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.

15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals with the sweet aroma of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. (Selah)

I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)

16 Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.

Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17 I cried to him with my mouth, and he was praised with my tongue.

I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I had seen sin within my heart, the Lord would not have listened to me.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:

19 But God has truly heard; he has paid attention to the voice of my prayer.

But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer or his covenant faithfulness from me.

Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me.
