Psalm 66
For the music leader. A song. A psalm.
1Shout joyfully to God, all the earth!
2Sing praises to the glory of God’s name!
Make glorious his praise!
3Say to God:
“How awesome are your works!
Because of your great strength,
your enemies cringe before you.
4All the earth worships you,
sings praises to you,
sings praises to your name!” Selah
5Come and see God’s deeds;
his works for human beings are awesome:
6He turned the sea into dry land
so they could cross the river on foot.
Right there we rejoiced in him!
7God rules with power forever;
keeps a good eye on the nations.
So don’t let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8All you nations, bless our God!
Let the sound of his praise be heard!
9God preserved us among the living;
he didn’t let our feet slip a bit.
10But you, God, have tested us—
you’ve refined us like silver,
11trapped us in a net,
laid burdens on our backs,
12let other people run right over our heads—
we’ve been through fire and water.
But you brought us out to freedom!
13So I’ll enter your house
with entirely burned offerings.
I’ll keep the promises I made to you,
14the ones my lips uttered,
the ones my mouth spoke when I was in deep trouble.
15I will offer the best burned offerings to you
along with the smoke of sacrificed rams.
I will offer both bulls and goats. Selah
16Come close and listen,
all you who honor God;
I will tell you what God has done for me:
17My mouth cried out to him
with praise on my tongue.
18If I had cherished evil in my heart,
my Lord would not have listened.
19But God definitely listened.
He heard the sound of my prayer.
20Bless God! He didn’t reject my prayer;
he didn’t withhold his faithful love 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.
