Psalms 66

1For the Leader. A Song, a Psalm. Shout unto God, all the earth;

2Sing praises unto the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious.

3Say unto God: 'How tremendous is Thy work! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies dwindle away before Thee.

4All the earth shall worship Thee, And shall sing praises unto Thee; They shall sing praises to Thy name.' Selah

5Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men.

6He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot; There let us rejoice in Him!

7Who ruleth by His might for ever; His eyes keep watch upon the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

8Bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of His praise to be heard;

9Who hath set our soul in life, And suffered not our foot to be moved,

10For Thou, O God, hast tried us; Thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.

11Thou didst bring us into the hold; Thou didst lay constraint upon our loins.

12Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But Thou didst bring us out unto abundance.

13I will come into Thy house with burnt-offerings, I will perform unto Thee my vows,

14Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.

15I will offer unto Thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the sweet smoke of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah

16Come, and hearken, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what He hath done for my soul.

17I cried unto Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue.

18If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, The Lord would not hear;

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

20Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.
