Psalms 66

   |   

Come and See the Works of God

For the choir director. A Song. A Psalm.

1 (C1)Make a loud shout to God, all the earth;

2 Sing praise for the (C1)glory of His name;
Establish His (C2)praise as glorious.

3 Say to God, "How (F1)(C1)fearsome are Your works!
Because of the abundance of Your strength Your enemies will (F2)(C2)cower before You.

4 "(C1)All the earth will worship You,
And will (C2)sing praises to You;
They will sing praises to Your name." Selah
may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude">(F1)Selah.

5 (C1)Come and see the works of God,
Who is (C2)fearsome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

6 He (C1)turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through (C2)the river on foot;
There let us (C3)be glad in Him!

7 He (C1)rules by His might forever;
His (C2)eyes keep watch on the nations;
Let not the rebellious (C3)exalt themselves. Selah.

8 Bless our God, O peoples,
And (F1)(C1)make the sound of His praise heard,

9 Who (F1)(C1)establishes us among the living
And (C2)does not allow our feet to stumble.

10 For You have (C1)tested us, O God;
You have (C2)refined us as silver is refined.

11 You (C1)brought us into the net;
You established an oppressive burden upon our loins.

12 You made men (C1)ride over our heads;
We went through (C2)fire and through water,
Yet You (C3)brought us out into a place of abundance.

13 I shall (C1)come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall (C2)pay You my vows,

14 Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke when I was (C1)in distress.

15 I shall (C1)offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts,
With the smoke of (C2)rams;
I shall make an offering of (F1)bulls with male goats. Selah.

16 (C1)Come and hear, all who (F1)fear God,
And I will (C2)recount what He has done for my soul.

17 I called out to Him with my mouth,
And (F1)He was (C1)exalted with my tongue.

18 If I (F1)(C1)see wickedness in my heart,
The (C2)Lord (F2)will not (F3)hear;

19 But certainly (C1)God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

20 (C1)Blessed be God,
Who (C2)has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.
