Psalm 66

1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth!

1 All together now - applause for God!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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