< Psalms 66 >

1 For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection. Shout to God, all the earth. 2 O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise. 3 Say to God, How awful are your works! through the greatness of your power your enemies shall lie to you. 4 Let all the earth worship you, and sing to you; let them sing to your name. (Pause) 5 Come and behold the works of God; [he is] terrible in [his] counsels beyond the children of men. 6 Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him, 7 who 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) 8 Bless our God, you Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard; 9 who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved. 10 For you, O God, has proved us; you have tried us with fire as silver is tried. 11 You brought us into the snare; you laid afflictions on our back. 12 You did mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but you brought us out into [a place of] refreshment. 13 I will go into your house with whole burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows, 14 which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction. 15 I will offer to you whole burnt sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to you oxen with goats. (Pause) 16 Come, hear, and I will tell, all you that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul. 17 I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue. 18 If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord listen [to me]. 19 Therefore God has listened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
