Psalms 66

1 Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection. Shout with joy to God, all the earth,

To him that excelleth. A song or Psalme. Rejoice in God, all ye inhabitants of the earth.

2 Sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.

Sing forth the glory of his name: make his praise glorious.

3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.

Say vnto God, Howe terrible art thou in thy workes! through the greatnesse of thy power shall thine enemies be in subiection vnto thee.

4 Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.

All the worlde shall worship thee, and sing vnto thee, euen sing of thy Name. (Selah)

5 Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

Come and beholde the workes of God: he is terrible in his doing towarde the sonnes of men.

6 Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there shall we rejoice in him.

He hath turned the Sea into drie land: they passe through the riuer on foote: there did we reioyce in him.

7 Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him he exalted in themselves.

He ruleth the worlde with his power: his eyes beholde the nations: the rebellious shall not exalt them selues. (Selah)

8 O bless our God, ye Gentiles: and make the voice of his praise to be heard.

Prayse our God, ye people, and make the voyce of his prayse to be heard.

9 Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:

Which holdeth our soules in life, and suffereth not our feete to slippe.

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us by fire, as silver is tried.

For thou, O God, hast proued vs, thou hast tryed vs as siluer is tryed.

11 Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:

Thou hast brought vs into the snare, and layed a strait chaine vpon our loynes.

12 Thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through tire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.

Thou hast caused men to ryde ouer our heads: we went into fire and into water, but thou broughtest vs out into a welthie place.

13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

I will go into thine House with burnt offrings, and will pay thee my vowes,

14 Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

Which my lippes haue promised, and my mouth hath spoken in mine affliction.

15 I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.

I will offer vnto thee the burnt offerings of fat rammes with incense: I will prepare bullocks and goates. (Selah)

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

Come and hearken, all ye that feare God, and I will tell you what he hath done to my soule.

17 I cried to him with my mouth: and I extolled him with my tongue.

I called vnto him with my mouth, and he was exalted with my tongue.

18 If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

If I regard wickednesse in mine heart, the Lord will not heare me.

19 Therefore hath God heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.

But God hath heard me, and considered the voyce of my prayer.

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

Praysed be God, which hath not put backe my prayer, nor his mercie from me.
