Psalms 66
66
Praise for God’s Mighty Acts
For the choir director. A song. A psalm.
1Shout joyfully to God, all the earth! # Ps 98:4; 100:1
2Sing about the glory of His name;
make His praise glorious. # 1Ch 16:29; Ps 48:10
3Say to God, “How awe-inspiring are Your works!
Your enemies will cringe before You
because of Your great strength. # Ps 18:44; 47:2; 145:6
4All the earth will worship You
and sing praise to You.
They will sing praise to Your name.” # Ps 72:11; Is 66:23; Zph 2:11Selah
5Come and see the wonders of God; # Ps 46:8
His acts for humanity are awe-inspiring.
6He turned the sea into dry land,
and they crossed the river on foot. # Ex 14:21; Ps 106:9
There we rejoiced in Him. # Ex 15:1-21
7He rules forever by His might;
He keeps His eye on the nations. # Ps 14:2; 33:13-14; Pr 15:3
The rebellious should not exalt themselves. # Ps 140:8Selah
8Praise our God, you peoples;
let the sound of His praise be heard. # Ps 98:4
9He keeps us alive # Lit He sets our soul in life
and does not allow our feet to slip. # Ps 94:18; 121:3
10For You, God, tested us;
You refined us as silver is refined. # Jb 23:10; Ps 17:3; Is 48:10
11You lured us into a trap;
You placed burdens on our backs. # Lm 1:13; Ezk 12:13; 17:20
12You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but You brought us out to abundance. # Or a place of satisfaction # Ps 18:19; Is 43:2
13I will enter Your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay You my vows # Ps 22:25; 116:14; Ec 5:4
14that my lips promised
and my mouth spoke during my distress. # Ps 18:6
15I will offer You fattened sheep as burnt offerings,
with the fragrant smoke of rams;
I will sacrifice oxen with goats. # Nm 6:14; Ps 51:19Selah
16Come and listen, all who fear God,
and I will tell what He has done for me. # Ps 9:1; 34:11; 71:15,24
17I cried out to Him with my mouth,
and praise was on my tongue. # Ps 35:28
18If I had been aware of malice in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened. # Jb 36:21; Jn 9:31
19However, God has listened;
He has paid attention to the sound of my prayer. # Ps 116:1-2
20May God be praised!
He has not turned away my prayer
or turned His faithful love from me. # Ps 22:24; 68:35

Psalms 66
66
To the Overseer. — A Song, a Psalm.
1Shout ye to God, all the earth.
2Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.
3Say to God, ‘How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.
4All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.’ Selah.
5Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.
6He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.
7Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.
8Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,
9Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.
10For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.
11Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.
12Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.
13I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,
14For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:
15‘Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.’ Selah.
16Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.
17Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.
18Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.
19But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
