תהילים 66

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר הָרִיעוּ לֵאלֹהִים כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

For the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!

2 זַמְּרוּ כְבֽוֹד־שְׁמוֹ שִׂימוּ כָבוֹד תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃

Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!

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

Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.

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

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

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

Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

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

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

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

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

8 בָּרְכוּ עַמִּים ׀ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְהַשְׁמִיעוּ קוֹל תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃

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

9 הַשָּׂם נַפְשֵׁנוּ בַּֽחַיִּים וְלֹֽא־נָתַן לַמּוֹט רַגְלֵֽנוּ׃

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

10 כִּֽי־בְחַנְתָּנוּ אֱלֹהִים צְרַפְתָּנוּ כִּצְרָף־כָּֽסֶף׃

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

11 הֲבֵאתָנוּ בַמְּצוּדָה שַׂמְתָּ מוּעָקָה בְמָתְנֵֽינוּ׃

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

12 הִרְכַּבְתָּ אֱנוֹשׁ לְרֹאשֵׁנוּ בָּֽאנוּ־בָאֵשׁ וּבַמַּיִם וַתּוֹצִיאֵנוּ לָֽרְוָיָֽה׃

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

13 אָבוֹא בֵיתְךָ בְעוֹלוֹת אֲשַׁלֵּם לְךָ נְדָרָֽי׃

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

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

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

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

I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. (Selah)

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

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

17 אֵלָיו פִּֽי־קָרָאתִי וְרוֹמַם תַּחַת לְשׁוֹנִֽי׃

I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.

18 אָוֶן אִם־רָאִיתִי בְלִבִּי לֹא יִשְׁמַע ׀ אֲדֹנָֽי׃

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

19 אָכֵן שָׁמַע אֱלֹהִים הִקְשִׁיב בְּקוֹל תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃

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

20 בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־הֵסִיר תְּפִלָּתִי וְחַסְדּוֹ מֵאִתִּֽי׃

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