Psalms 66

1 To the Overseer. — A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye 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 Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.

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

3 Say to God, 'How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

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 do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' (Selah)

Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.

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

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

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

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

7 Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. (Selah)

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

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

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

9 Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.

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

10 For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

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

11 Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.

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

12 Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.

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 enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

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

Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15 'Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-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, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did 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 Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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