Psalms 66

1 Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! 2 Sing out the honor of His name;
Make His praise glorious. 3 Say to God,
"How awesome are Your works!
Through the greatness of Your power
Your enemies shall submit themselves to You. 4 All the earth shall worship You
And sing praises to You;
They shall sing praises to Your name." Selah 5 Come and see the works of God;
He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men. 6 He turned the sea into dry land;
They went through the river on foot.
There we will rejoice in Him. 7 He rules by His power forever;
His eyes observe the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah 8 Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard, 9 Who keeps our soul among the living,
And does not allow our feet to be moved. 10 For You, O God, have tested us;
You have refined us as silver is refined. 11 You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs. 12 You have caused men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment. 13 I will go into Your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay You my vows, 14 Which my lips have uttered
And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble. 15 I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,
With the sweet aroma of rams;
I will offer bulls with goats. Selah 16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul. 17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue. 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear. 19 But certainly God has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!
