Psalm 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.

New Living Translation NLT

1 Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth!

2 Sing about the glory of his name! Tell the world how glorious he is.

3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Your enemies cringe before your mighty power.

4 Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs.” Interlude

5 Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people!

6 He made a dry path through the Red Sea, and his people went across on foot. There we rejoiced in him.

7 For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance. Interlude

8 Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing his praises.

9 Our lives are in his hands, and he keeps our feet from stumbling.

10 You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver.

11 You captured us in your net and laid the burden of slavery on our backs.

12 Then you put a leader over us. We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance.

13 Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings to fulfill the vows I made to you—

14 yes, the sacred vows that I made when I was in deep trouble.

15 That is why I am sacrificing burnt offerings to you— the best of my rams as a pleasing aroma, and a sacrifice of bulls and male goats. Interlude

16 Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me.

17 For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke.

18 If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

19 But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer.

20 Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me.
