Psalms 66

1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth!

1 <To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm.> Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:

2 Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.

2 Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.

3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.

3 Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.

4 All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing the praises of your name.”

4 Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah.)

5 Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind!

5 Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.

6 He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot— come, let us rejoice in him.

6 The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.

7 He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations— let not the rebellious rise up against him.

7 He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.)

8 Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;

8 Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;

9 he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.

9 Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

10 For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver.

10 For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

11 You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.

11 You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.

12 You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.

12 You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.

13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you—

13 I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,

14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.

14 Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.

15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.

15 I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah.)

16 Come and hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.

16 Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.

17 I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.

17 My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.

18 If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;

18 I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:

19 but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer.

19 But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.

20 Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!

20 Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.
