Psalm 66

For the chief musician; a song; a psalm. Shout to God, all of the earth! 2 Make music {to} the glory of his name; make his praise glorious. \* 3 Say to God, “How fearsome {are} your deeds! Because of the greatness of your power, your enemies cringe before you. 4 All of the earth bows down to you and makes music to you; they make music {to} your name.” Selah \* 5 Come and see the works of God, fearsome in doing toward the sons of man. 6 He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There let us rejoice in him! 7 He is ruling by his might forever; his eyes watch over the nations. Let the ones rebelling not exalt themselves. Selah \* 8 Bless our God, peoples, and make the sound of his praise heard, 9 the one putting our soul among the living, and he does not allow our foot to slip. \* 10 For you tested us, God; you refined us like the refining of silver. 11 You brought us into a net; you put pressure on our loins. 12 You made man ride over our head; we went through fire and through waters, but you brought us out to abundance. \* 13 I will come {into} your house with burnt offerings; I will pay my vows to you, 14 {for} which my lips opened and my mouth spoke when trouble {was} to me. 15 I will offer up burnt offerings of fatlings to you with the smoke of rams; I will offer cattle with male goats. Selah \* 16 Come, listen, and let me recount, all fearers of God, what he has done for my soul. 17 I called to him {with} my mouth, and he was exalted from my tongue. 18 If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have heard. \* 19 Surely God has heard; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed {be} God, who has not turned away my prayer or his covenant faithfulness from me. \*
