Psalms 66

   |   

Praise for God's Mighty Deeds and for His Answer to Prayer.

For the choir director. A Song. A Psalm.

1 (a)Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;
2 Sing the (b)glory of His name;
Make His (c)praise glorious.
3 Say to God, "How (d)awesome are Your works!
Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will [a](e)give feigned obedience to You.
4 "(f)All the earth will worship You,
And will (g)sing praises to You;
They will sing praises to Your name." [b]Selah.

5 (h)Come and see the works of God,
Who is (i)awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.
6 He (j)turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through (k)the river on foot;
There let us (l)rejoice in Him!
7 He (m)rules by His might forever;
His (n)eyes keep watch on the nations;
Let not the rebellious (o)exalt themselves. Selah.

8 Bless our God, O peoples,
And [c](p)sound His praise abroad,
9 Who [d](q)keeps us in life
And (r)does not allow our feet to [e]slip.
10 For You have (s)tried us, O God;
You have (t)refined us as silver is refined.
11 You (u)brought us into the net;
You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.
12 You made men (v)ride over our heads;
We went through (w)fire and through water,
Yet You (x)brought us out into a place of abundance.
13 I shall (y)come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall (z)pay You my vows,
14 Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke when I was (aa)in distress.
15 I shall (ab)offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts,
With the smoke of (ac)rams;
I shall make an offering of [f]bulls with male goats. Selah.

16 (ad)Come and hear, all who [g]fear God,
And I will (ae)tell of what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And [h]He was (af)extolled with my tongue.
18 If I [i](ag)regard wickedness in my heart,
The (ah)Lord [j]will not [k]hear;
19 But certainly (ai)God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
20 (aj)Blessed be God,
Who (ak)has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.
