Psalms 66

1For the end, a Song of a Psalm of resurrection. Shout unto God, all the earth.

2O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.

3Say unto God, How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee.

4Let all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee; let them sing to thy name. Pause.

5Come and behold the works of God; [he is] terrible in [his] counsels beyond the children of men.

6Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,

7who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke [him] be exalted in themselves. Pause.

8Bless our God, ye Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

9who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.

10For thou, O God, hast proved us; thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried.

11Thou broughtest us into the snare; thou laidest afflictions on our back.

12Thou didst mount men upon our heads; we went through fire and water; but thou broughtest us out into [a place of] refreshment.

13I will go into thine house with whole-burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,

14which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.

15I will offer to thee whole-burnt-sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to thee oxen with goats. Pause.

16Come, hear, and I will tell, all ye that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.

17I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.

18If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord hearken [to me].

19Therefore God has hearkened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
