Psalms 66
66
For the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm.
1Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2 Sing to the glory of his name!
Offer glory and praise!
3Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds!
Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.
4 All the earth will worship you,
and will sing to you;
they will sing to your name.” Selah.
5 Come, and see God’s deeds—
awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land.
They went through the river on foot.
There, we rejoiced in him.
7He rules by his might forever.
His eyes watch the nations.
Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.
8 Praise our God, you peoples!
Make the sound of his praise heard,
9 who preserves our life amongst the living,
and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.
10 For you, God, have tested us.
You have refined us, as silver is refined.
11 You brought us into prison.
You laid a burden on our backs.
12 You allowed men to ride over our heads.
We went through fire and through water,
but you brought us to the place of abundance.
13 I will come into your temple with burnt offerings.
I will pay my vows to you, 14which my lips promised,
and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals,
with the offering of rams,
I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God.
I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth.
He was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord wouldn’t have listened.
19 But most certainly, God has listened.
He has heard the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer,
nor his loving kindness from me.

Psalm 66
For the choir director; a song; a psalm.
1Shout happily to God, all the earth!
2Make music to praise the glory of his name.
Make his praise glorious.
3Say to God,
“How awe-inspiring are your deeds!
Your power is so great that your enemies will cringe in front of you.
4The whole earth will worship you.
It will make music to praise you.
It will make music to praise your name.” Selah
5Come and see what God has done—
his awe-inspiring deeds for Adam’s descendants.
6He turned the sea into dry land.
They crossed the river on foot.
We rejoiced because of what he did there.
7He rules forever with his might.
His eyes watch the nations.
Rebels will not be able to oppose him. Selah
8Thank our God, you nations.
Make the sound of his praise heard.
9He has kept us alive
and has not allowed us to fall.
10You have tested us, O God.
You have refined us in the same way silver is refined.
11You have trapped us in a net.
You have laid burdens on our backs.
12You let people ride over our heads.
We went through fire and water,
but then you brought us out and refreshed us.
13I will come into your temple with burnt offerings.
I will keep my vows to you,
14the vows made by my lips and spoken by my ⌞own⌟ mouth
when I was in trouble.
15I will offer you a sacrifice of fattened livestock for burnt offerings
with the smoke from rams.
I will offer cattle and goats. Selah
16Come and listen, all who fear God,
and I will tell you what he has done for me.
17With my mouth I cried out to him.
High praise was on my tongue.
18If I had thought about doing anything sinful,
the Lord would not have listened ⌞to me⌟.
19But God has heard me.
He has paid attention to my prayer.
20Thanks be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or taken away his mercy from me.
