Psalm 66

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!

Psalms 66

For the choir director: A song. A psalm.
1Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth!
2Sing about the glory of his name!
Tell the world how glorious he is.
3Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
Your enemies cringe before your mighty power.
4Everything on earth will worship you;
they will sing your praises,
shouting your name in glorious songs.” Interlude
5Come and see what our God has done,
what awesome miracles he performs for people!
6He made a dry path through the Red Sea,#66:6 Hebrew the sea.
and his people went across on foot.
There we rejoiced in him.
7For by his great power he rules forever.
He watches every movement of the nations;
let no rebel rise in defiance. Interlude
8Let the whole world bless our God
and loudly sing his praises.
9Our lives are in his hands,
and he keeps our feet from stumbling.
10You have tested us, O God;
you have purified us like silver.
11You captured us in your net
and laid the burden of slavery on our backs.
12Then you put a leader over us.#66:12 Or You made people ride over our heads.
We went through fire and flood,
but you brought us to a place of great abundance.
13Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings
to fulfill the vows I made to you—
14yes, the sacred vows that I made
when I was in deep trouble.
15That is why I am sacrificing burnt offerings to you—
the best of my rams as a pleasing aroma,
and a sacrifice of bulls and male goats. Interlude
16Come and listen, all you who fear God,
and I will tell you what he did for me.
17For I cried out to him for help,
praising him as I spoke.
18If I had not confessed the sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.
19But God did listen!
He paid attention to my prayer.
20Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer
or withdraw his unfailing love from me.
