תהילים 66

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר הָרִיעוּ לֵאלֹהִים כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm. Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:

2 זַמְּרוּ כְבֽוֹד־שְׁמוֹ שִׂימוּ כָבוֹד תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃

Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.

3 אִמְרוּ לֵאלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָא מַעֲשֶׂיךָ בְּרֹב עֻזְּךָ יְֽכַחֲשׁוּ לְךָ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃

Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.

4 כָּל־הָאָרֶץ ׀ יִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְךָ וִֽיזַמְּרוּ־לָךְ יְזַמְּרוּ שִׁמְךָ סֶֽלָה׃

Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah)

5 לְכוּ וּרְאוּ מִפְעֲלוֹת אֱלֹהִים נוֹרָא עֲלִילָה עַל־בְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃

Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.

6 הָפַךְ יָם ׀ לְֽיַבָּשָׁה בַּנָּהָר יַֽעַבְרוּ בְרָגֶל שָׁם נִשְׂמְחָה־בּֽוֹ׃

The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.

7 מֹשֵׁל בִּגְבוּרָתוֹ ׀ עוֹלָם עֵינָיו בַּגּוֹיִם תִּצְפֶּינָה הַסּוֹרְרִים ׀ אַל־ירימו יָרוּמוּ לָמוֹ סֶֽלָה׃

He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah)

8 בָּרְכוּ עַמִּים ׀ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְהַשְׁמִיעוּ קוֹל תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃

Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;

9 הַשָּׂם נַפְשֵׁנוּ בַּֽחַיִּים וְלֹֽא־נָתַן לַמּוֹט רַגְלֵֽנוּ׃

Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

10 כִּֽי־בְחַנְתָּנוּ אֱלֹהִים צְרַפְתָּנוּ כִּצְרָף־כָּֽסֶף׃

For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

11 הֲבֵאתָנוּ בַמְּצוּדָה שַׂמְתָּ מוּעָקָה בְמָתְנֵֽינוּ׃

You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.

12 הִרְכַּבְתָּ אֱנוֹשׁ לְרֹאשֵׁנוּ בָּֽאנוּ־בָאֵשׁ וּבַמַּיִם וַתּוֹצִיאֵנוּ לָֽרְוָיָֽה׃

You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.

13 אָבוֹא בֵיתְךָ בְעוֹלוֹת אֲשַׁלֵּם לְךָ נְדָרָֽי׃

I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,

14 אֲשֶׁר־פָּצוּ שְׂפָתָי וְדִבֶּר־פִּי בַּצַּר־לִֽי׃

Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.

15 עֹלוֹת מֵחִים אַעֲלֶה־לָּךְ עִם־קְטֹרֶת אֵילִים אֶעֱשֶֽׂה בָקָר עִם־עַתּוּדִים סֶֽלָה׃

I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah)

16 לְכֽוּ־שִׁמְעוּ וַאֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־יִרְאֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃

Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.

17 אֵלָיו פִּֽי־קָרָאתִי וְרוֹמַם תַּחַת לְשׁוֹנִֽי׃

My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.

18 אָוֶן אִם־רָאִיתִי בְלִבִּי לֹא יִשְׁמַע ׀ אֲדֹנָֽי׃

I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:

19 אָכֵן שָׁמַע אֱלֹהִים הִקְשִׁיב בְּקוֹל תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃

But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.

20 בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־הֵסִיר תְּפִלָּתִי וְחַסְדּוֹ מֵאִתִּֽי׃

Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.
