Psalms 66

1 For the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful 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 Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!

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

3 Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves 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 will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to 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 God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

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

6 He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.

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

7 He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. (Selah)

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

8 Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard,

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

9 who preserves our life among the living, and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.

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

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

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

11 You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.

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

12 You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.

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 will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,

I will go 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 have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with 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 and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done 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 cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.

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

18 If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.

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

19 But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.

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

20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.

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