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.

King James Version KJV

1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
