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.

PSALM 66
To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm.
1Shout aloud unto God#GodHebrew: Elohim all the earth: 2Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious; 3Say unto God#GodHebrew: Elohim How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee. 4All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah. 5Come and see the works of God#GodHebrew: Elohim he is terrible in his doings toward the children of men. 6He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him. 7He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8Bless our God#GodHebrew: Elohim ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard; 9Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. 10For thou, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. 11Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins; 12Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.
13I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee, 14Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. 15I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. 16Come, hear, all ye that fear God#GodHebrew: Elohim and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. 17I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. 18Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear. 19But God#GodHebrew: Elohim hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20Blessed be God#GodHebrew: Elohim who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!
