How Awesome Are Your Deeds
To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.
1 #
Ps. 81:1; 95:1; 98:4; 100:1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
2sing the glory of his name;
# [Josh. 7:19; Isa. 42:12] give to him glorious praise!
3Say to God, #See Ps. 65:5 “How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power that your enemies #See Ps. 18:44come cringing to you.
4 # See Ps. 22:27 All the earth worships you
and sings praises to you;
they sing praises to your name.” Selah
5 # ver. 16; Ps. 46:8 Come and see what God has done:
# [See ver. 3 above] he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
6He #[Ex. 14:21] turned the sea into dry land;
they #Ps. 74:15; See Josh. 3:14-17passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
7who rules by his might forever,
whose #See Ps. 11:4eyes keep watch on the nations—
let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8Bless our God, O peoples;
let the sound of his praise be heard,
9who has kept our soul among the living
and #See Ps. 121:3has not let our feet slip.
10For you, O God, have #See Job 23:10tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.
11You brought us into #Lam. 1:13; Ezek. 12:13the net;
you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
12you let men #Isa. 51:23 ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through #Isa. 43:2water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.
13I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
I will #See Ps. 50:14perform my vows to you,
14that which my lips uttered
and my mouth promised #See Ps. 18:6when I was in trouble.
15I 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 # ver. 5; Ps. 34:11 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
17I cried to him with my mouth,
and high praise was on#66:17 Hebrew under my tongue.#66:17 Or and he was exalted with my tongue
18If I had #Job 36:21 cherished iniquity in my heart,
# [Prov. 28:9; Isa. 59:2; John 9:31; James 4:3; See Job 27:9] the Lord would not have listened.
19But truly #Ps. 116:1, 2God has listened;
he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20Blessed be God,
because he has not rejected my prayer
or removed his steadfast love from me!

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.
