Psalms 66

1 To the Overseer. — A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.

To him that excelleth. A song or Psalme. Rejoice in God, all ye inhabitants of the earth.

2 Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.

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

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

Say vnto God, Howe terrible art thou in thy workes! through the greatnesse of thy power shall thine enemies be in subiection vnto thee.

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

All the worlde shall worship thee, and sing vnto thee, euen sing of thy Name. (Selah)

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

Come and beholde the workes of God: he is terrible in his doing towarde the sonnes 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.

He hath turned the Sea into drie land: they passe through the riuer on foote: there did we reioyce in him.

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

He ruleth the worlde with his power: his eyes beholde the nations: the rebellious shall not exalt them selues. (Selah)

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

Prayse our God, ye people, and make the voyce of his prayse to be heard.

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

Which holdeth our soules in life, and suffereth not our feete to slippe.

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

For thou, O God, hast proued vs, thou hast tryed vs as siluer is tryed.

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

Thou hast brought vs into the snare, and layed a strait chaine vpon our loynes.

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 caused men to ryde ouer our heads: we went into fire and into water, but thou broughtest vs out into a welthie place.

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

I will go into thine House with burnt offrings, and will pay thee my vowes,

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

Which my lippes haue promised, and my mouth hath spoken in mine affliction.

15 'Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' (Selah)

I will offer vnto thee the burnt offerings of fat rammes with incense: I will prepare bullocks and goates. (Selah)

16 Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

Come and hearken, all ye that feare God, and I will tell you what he hath done to my soule.

17 Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.

I called vnto him with my mouth, and he was exalted with my tongue.

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

If I regard wickednesse in mine heart, the Lord will not heare me.

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

But God hath heard me, and considered the voyce of my prayer.

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

Praysed be God, which hath not put backe my prayer, nor his mercie from me.
