Psalms 66

1 [Tell] everyone on the earth that they should sing joyfully to praise God!

Dé alabanza a Dios toda la tierra.

2 They should sing songs that say that God [MTY] is very great, and they should tell everyone that he is very glorious!

Cantád la gloria de su nombre: ponéd gloria en su alabanza.

3 They should say to God, “The things that you do are awesome! You are very powerful, with the result that your enemies (cringe/bow down) in front of you.”

Decíd a Dios: ¡Cuán terrible eres en tus obras! por la multitud de tu fortaleza se te sujetarán fingidamente todos tus enemigos.

4 Everyone on the earth [should] worship God and sing to praise him and honor him [MTY].

Toda la tierra te adorará, y cantarán a ti: cantarán a tu nombre. (Selah)

5 Come and think about what God has done! Think about the awesome things that he has done.

Veníd, y ved las obras de Dios: terrible en hechos sobre los hijos de los hombres.

6 He caused the [Red] Sea to become dry land, [with the result that our] ancestors were able to walk right through it. There we rejoiced because of what he [had done].

Volvió la mar en seco: por el río pasaron a pie; allí nos alegramos en él.

7 By his great power he rules forever, and he keeps watching all the nations [to see what things they do], [so] those nations that want to rebel [against him] should not be proud.

El se enseñorea con su fortaleza para siempre: sus ojos atalayan sobre las naciones: los rebeldes no serán ellos ensalzados. (Selah)

8 You people [of all nations], praise our God! Praise him loudly in order that people will hear you as you praise him.

Bendecíd pueblos a nuestro Dios: y hacéd oír la voz de su loor.

9 He has kept us alive, and he has not allowed us to (stumble/be defeated).

El que puso nuestra alma en vida: y no permitió que resbalasen nuestros pies.

10 God, you have tested us; you have allowed us to experience great difficulties [to make our lives become pure] as [people] put precious metals in a hot fire [to burn out what is impure] [MET].

Porque tú nos probaste, o! Dios: afinástenos, como se afina la plata.

11 [It is as if] you allowed us to fall into traps [MET], and you [forced us to endure difficult things which were like] putting heavy loads on our backs [MET].

Metístenos en la red: pusiste apretura en nuestros lomos.

12 You allowed [our] enemies to trample on us; we [experienced difficulties/troubles that were like] [MET] walking through fires and floods, but now you have brought us into a place where we have plenty.

Hiciste subir varón sobre nuestra cabeza: entrámos en fuego y en aguas; y sacástenos a hartura.

13 [Yahweh], I will bring to your temple offerings that are to be completely burned [on the altar]; I will offer to you what I promised.

Entraré pues en tu casa con holocaustos: y pagarte he mis votos,

14 When I was experiencing [much] trouble, I said that I would bring offerings to you [if you rescued me]; [and you did rescue me, so] I will bring to you what I promised.

Que pronunciaron mis labios, y habló mi boca, cuando estaba angustiado.

15 I will bring sheep to be burned on the altar, and I will [also] sacrifice bulls and goats, and when they are burning, [you will be pleased when] the smoke [rises up] ([to you/to the sky]).

Holocaustos de engordados te ofreceré, con perfume de carneros: sacrificaré bueyes y machos de cabrío. (Selah)

16 All you [people] who revere God, come and listen, and I will tell you what he has done for me.

Veníd, oíd todos los que teméis a Dios: y contaré lo que ha hecho a mi alma.

17 I called out to him to help me, and I praised him while I was speaking to him [MTY].

A él hablé en alta voz: y fue ensalzado con mi lengua.

18 If I had ignored the sins that I had committed, the Lord would not have paid any attention to me.

Si yo viera iniquidad en mi corazón, no oyera el Señor.

19 But because [I confessed my sins], God has listened to me and he paid attention to my prayers.

Ciertamente oyó Dios: escuchó a la voz de mi oración.

20 I praise God because he has not ignored my prayers or stopped faithfully loving me.

Bendito Dios, que no apartó mi oración, y su misericordia de mí.
