Psalms 66

   |   

How Awesome Are Your Deeds

To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.

1 (a)Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
2     sing the glory of his name;
    (b)give to him glorious praise!
3 Say to God, (c)"How awesome are your deeds!
    So great is your power that your enemies (d)come cringing to you.
4 (e)All the earth worships you
    and sings praises to you;
    they sing praises to your name." Selah

5 (f)Come and see what God has done:
    (g)he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
6 He (h)turned the sea into dry land;
    they (i)passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
7     who rules by his might forever,
whose (j)eyes keep watch on the nations—
    let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

8 Bless our God, O peoples;
    let the sound of his praise be heard,
9 who has kept our soul among the living
    and (k)has not let our feet slip.
10 For you, O God, have (l)tested us;
    you have tried us as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into (m)the net;
    you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
12 you let men (n)ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and through (o)water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
    I will (p)perform my vows to you,
14 that which my lips uttered
    and my mouth promised (q)when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,
    with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

16 (r)Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth,
    and high praise was on[a] my tongue.[b]
18 If I had (s)cherished iniquity in my heart,
    (t)the Lord would not have listened.
19 But truly (u)God has listened;
    he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,
    because he has not rejected my prayer
    or removed his steadfast love from me!
