Psalm 66

For the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm.

 ^66:1Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!
      ^66:2Sing to the glory of his name!
      Offer glory and praise!

 ^66:3Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds!

 Through the greatness of your power,
      Your enemies will submit themselves to you.

 ^66:4All the earth will worship you,
      And will sing to you;
      They will sing to your name."

 Selah.

 ^66:5Come, and see God's deeds --
      Awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

 ^66:6He turned the sea into dry land.
      They went through the river on foot.
      There, we rejoiced in him.

 ^66:7He rules by his might forever.
      His eyes watch the nations.

 Don't let the rebellious rise up against him.

 Selah.

 ^66:8Praise our God, you peoples!
      Make the sound of his praise heard,

 ^66:9Who preserves our life among the living,
      And doesn't allow our feet to be moved.

 ^66:10For you, God, have tested us.
      You have refined us, as silver is refined.

 ^66:11You brought us into prison.
      You laid a burden on our backs.

 ^66:12You allowed men to ride over our heads.
      We went through fire and through water,
      But you brought us to the place of abundance.

 ^66:13I will come into your temple with burnt offerings.
      I will pay my vows to you, ^66:14which my lips promised,
      And my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.

 ^66:15I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals,
      With the offering of rams,
      I will offer bulls with goats.

 Selah.

 ^66:16Come, and hear, all you who fear God.
      I will declare what he has done for my soul.

 ^66:17I cried to him with my mouth.
      He was extolled with my tongue.

 ^66:18If I cherished sin in my heart,
      The Lord wouldn't have listened.

 ^66:19But most assuredly, God has listened.
      He has heard the voice of my prayer.

 ^66:20Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer,
      Nor his lovingkindness from me.
