To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm.
Psalm 66:1-3
1 Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2
Sing out the honor of His name;
Make His praise glorious.
3
Say to God,
“How awesome are Your works!
Through the greatness of Your power
Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.
4
All the earth shall worship You
And sing praises to You;
They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah
Psalm 66:5-7
5
Come and see the works of God;
He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
6
He turned the sea into dry land;
They went through the river on foot.
There we will rejoice in Him.
7
He rules by His power forever;
His eyes observe the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
Psalm 66:8-12
8
Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
9
Who keeps our soul among the living,
And does not allow our feet to be moved (slip).
10
For You, O God, have tested us;
You have refined us as silver is refined.
11
You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
12
You have caused men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment (abundance).
Psalm 66:13-15
13
I will go into Your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay You my vows,
14
Which my lips have uttered
And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
15
I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,
With the sweet aroma of rams;
I will offer bulls with goats. Selah
Psalm 66:16-19
16
Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17
I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled (praised) with my tongue.
18
If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
19
But certainly God has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Psalm 66:20
20
Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!
