< Psalms 66 >

1 To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ שִׁ֣יר מִזְמֹ֑ור הָרִ֥יעוּ לֵ֝אלֹהִים כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
זַמְּר֥וּ כְבֹֽוד־שְׁמֹ֑ו שִׂ֥ימוּ כָ֝בֹ֗וד תְּהִלָּתֹֽו׃
3 Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נֹּורָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. (Selah)
כָּל־הָאָ֤רֶץ ׀ יִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לְ֭ךָ וִֽיזַמְּרוּ־לָ֑ךְ יְזַמְּר֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ סֶֽלָה׃
5 Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his] doing toward the children of men.
לְכ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ מִפְעֲלֹ֣ות אֱלֹהִ֑ים נֹורָ֥א עֲ֝לִילָ֗ה עַל־בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃
6 He turned the sea into dry [land: ] they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
הָ֤פַךְ יָ֨ם ׀ לְֽיַבָּשָׁ֗ה בַּ֭נָּהָר יַֽעַבְר֣וּ בְרָ֑גֶל שָׁ֝֗ם נִשְׂמְחָה־בֹּֽו׃
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)
מֹ֘שֵׁ֤ל בִּגְבוּרָתֹ֨ו ׀ עֹולָ֗ם עֵ֭ינָיו בַּגֹּויִ֣ם תִּצְפֶּ֑ינָה הַסֹּורְרִ֓ים ׀ אַל־יָרִימוּ (יָר֖וּמוּ) לָ֣מֹו סֶֽלָה׃
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
בָּרְכ֖וּ עַמִּ֥ים ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְ֝הַשְׁמִ֗יעוּ קֹ֣ול תְּהִלָּתֹֽו׃
9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
הַשָּׂ֣ם נַ֭פְשֵׁנוּ בַּֽחַיִּ֑ים וְלֹֽא־נָתַ֖ן לַמֹּ֣וט רַגְלֵֽנוּ׃
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
כִּֽי־בְחַנְתָּ֥נוּ אֱלֹהִ֑ים צְ֝רַפְתָּ֗נוּ כִּצְרָף־כָּֽסֶף׃
11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
הֲבֵאתָ֥נוּ בַמְּצוּדָ֑ה שַׂ֖מְתָּ מוּעָקָ֣ה בְמָתְנֵֽינוּ׃
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].
הִרְכַּ֥בְתָּ אֱנֹ֗ושׁ לְרֹ֫אשֵׁ֥נוּ בָּֽאנוּ־בָאֵ֥שׁ וּבַמַּ֑יִם וַ֝תֹּוצִיאֵ֗נוּ לָֽרְוָיָֽה׃
13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
אָבֹ֣וא בֵיתְךָ֣ בְעֹולֹ֑ות אֲשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְךָ֣ נְדָרָֽי׃
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
אֲשֶׁר־פָּצ֥וּ שְׂפָתָ֑י וְדִבֶּר־פִּ֝֗י בַּצַּר־לִֽי׃
15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)
עֹ֘לֹ֤ות מֵחִ֣ים אַעֲלֶה־לָּ֭ךְ עִם־קְטֹ֣רֶת אֵילִ֑ים אֶ֥עֱשֶֽׂה בָקָ֖ר עִם־עַתּוּדִ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃
16 Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
לְכֽוּ־שִׁמְע֣וּ וַ֭אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־יִרְאֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר עָשָׂ֣ה לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃
17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
אֵלָ֥יו פִּֽי־קָרָ֑אתִי וְ֝רֹומַ֗ם תַּ֣חַת לְשֹׁונִֽי׃
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me: ]
אָ֭וֶן אִם־רָאִ֣יתִי בְלִבִּ֑י לֹ֖א יִשְׁמַ֣ע ׀ אֲדֹנָֽי׃
19 [But] verily God hath heard [me; ] he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
אָ֭כֵן שָׁמַ֣ע אֱלֹהִ֑ים הִ֝קְשִׁ֗יב בְּקֹ֣ול תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃
20 Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
בָּר֥וּךְ אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־הֵסִ֘יר תְּפִלָּתִ֥י וְ֝חַסְדֹּ֗ו מֵאִתִּֽי׃
