The Psalms

Psalm 66

For the Chief Musician. A song, a Psalm.

 ^66:1Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:

 ^66:2Sing forth the glory of his name:

 Make his praise glorious.

 ^66:3Say unto God, How terrible are thy works!

 Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

 ^66:4All the earth shall worship thee,

 And shall sing unto thee;

 They shall sing to thy name.

Selah

 ^66:5Come, and see the works of God;

 He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

 ^66:6He turned the sea into dry land;

 They went through the river on foot:

 There did we rejoice in him.

 ^66:7He ruleth by his might for ever;

 His eyes observe the nations:

 Let not the rebellious exalt themselves.

Selah

 ^66:8Oh bless our God, ye peoples,

 And make the voice of his praise to be heard;

 ^66:9Who holdeth our soul in life,

 And suffereth not our feet to be moved.

 ^66:10For thou, O God, hast proved us:

 Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

 ^66:11Thou broughtest us into the net;

 Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.

 ^66:12Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads;

 We went through fire and through water;

 But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

 ^66:13I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings;

 I will pay thee my vows,

 ^66:14Which my lips uttered,

 And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.

 ^66:15I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,

 With the incense of rams;

 I will offer bullocks with goats.

Selah

 ^66:16Come, and hear, all ye that fear God,

 And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

 ^66:17I cried unto him with my mouth,

 And he was extolled with my tongue.

 ^66:18If I regard iniquity in my heart,

 The Lord will not hear:

 ^66:19But verily God hath heard;

 He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

 ^66:20Blessed be God,

 Who hath not turned away my prayer,

 Nor his lovingkindness from me.
