Psalms 66

The Message Bible MSG

1 All together now - applause for God!

2 Sing songs to the tune of his glory, set glory to the rhythms of his praise.

3 Say of God, "We've never seen anything like him!" When your enemies see you in action, they slink off like scolded dogs.

4 The whole earth falls to its knees - it worships you, sings to you, can't stop enjoying your name and fame.

5 Take a good look at God's wonders - they'll take your breath away.

6 He converted sea to dry land; travelers crossed the river on foot. Now isn't that cause for a song?

7 Ever sovereign in his high tower, he keeps his eye on the godless nations. Rebels don't dare raise a finger against him.

8 Bless our God, O peoples! Give him a thunderous welcome!

9 Didn't he set us on the road to life? Didn't he keep us out of the ditch?

10 He trained us first, passed us like silver through refining fires,

11 Brought us into hardscrabble country, pushed us to our very limit,

12 Road-tested us inside and out, took us to hell and back; Finally he brought us to this well-watered place.

13 I'm bringing my prizes and presents to your house. I'm doing what I said I'd do,

14 What I solemnly swore I'd do that day when I was in so much trouble:

15 The choicest cuts of meat for the sacrificial meal; Even the fragrance of roasted lamb is like a meal! Or make it an ox garnished with goat meat!

16 All believers, come here and listen, let me tell you what God did for me.

17 I called out to him with my mouth, my tongue shaped the sounds of music.

18 If I had been cozy with evil, the Lord would never have listened.

19 But he most surely did listen, he came on the double when he heard my prayer.

20 Blessed be God: he didn't turn a deaf ear, he stayed with me, loyal in his love.

English Standard Version ESV

1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth;

2 sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise!

3 Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.

4 All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name." Selah

5 Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.

6 He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him,

7 who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations-- let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

8 Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard,

9 who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip.

10 For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.

11 You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs;

12 you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will perform my vows to you,

14 that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.

15 I 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 Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul.

17 I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on my tongue.

18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

19 But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!
