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!

Psalms 66
66
Praise God for Answering Prayers
For the director of music. A song of praise.
1Everything on earth, shout with joy to God!
2Sing about his glory!
Make his praise glorious!
3Say to God, “Your works are amazing!
Your power is great.
Your enemies fall before you.
4All the earth worships you.
They sing praises to you.
They sing praises to your name.” Selah
5Come and see what God has done.
See what amazing things he has done for people.
6He turned the sea into dry land.
The people crossed the river on foot.
So let us rejoice because of what he did.
7He rules forever with his power.
He keeps his eye on the nations.
So people should not turn against him. Selah
8You people, praise our God.
Loudly sing his praise.
9He protects our lives
and does not let us be defeated.
10God, you have tested us.
You have purified us like silver.
11You let us be trapped.
You put a heavy load on us.
12You let our enemies walk on our heads.
We went through fire and flood.
But you brought us to a place with good things.
13I will come to your Temple with burnt offerings.
I will give you what I promised.
14I promised to give you these things
when I was in trouble.
15I will bring you offerings of fat animals.
And I will offer male sheep, bulls and goats. Selah
16All of you who fear God, come and listen.
I will tell you what he has done for me.
17I cried out to him with my mouth.
I praised him with my tongue.
18If I had known of any sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened to me.
19But God has listened.
He has heard my prayer.
20Praise God.
He did not ignore my prayer.
He did not hold back his love from me.
