Psalms 66

¹ How Awesome Are Your Deeds To the choirmaster . A Song . A Psalm . Shout for joy to God , all the earth ;

² sing the glory of his name ; give to him glorious praise !

³ Say to God , How awesome are your deeds ! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.

⁴ All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name .

⁵ Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man .

⁶ He turned the sea into dry land ; they passed through the river on foot . There did we rejoice in him,

⁷ who rules by his might forever , whose eyes keep watch on the nations — let not the rebellious exalt themselves.

⁸ Bless our God , O peoples ; let the sound of his praise be heard ,

⁹ who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip .

¹⁰ For you, O God , have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried .

¹¹ You brought us into the net ; you laid a crushing burden on our backs ;

¹² you let men ride over our heads ; we went through fire and through water ; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance .

¹³ I will come into your house with burnt offerings ; I will perform my vows to you,

¹⁴ that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble .

¹⁵ I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals , with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams ; I will make an offering of bulls and goats .

¹⁶ Come and hear , all you who fear God , and I will tell what he has done for my soul .

¹⁷ I cried to him with my mouth , and high praise was on my tongue .

¹⁸ If I had cherished iniquity in my heart , the Lord would not have listened .

¹⁹ But truly God has listened ; he has attended to the voice of my prayer .

²⁰ Blessed be God , because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!

¹ Shout for joy to God, all the earth!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. Psalm 65 Books Psalm 67
