Psalms 66
Psalm 66
Praise for God’s Mighty Acts
For the choir director. A song. A psalm.
1Let the whole earth shout joyfully to God!23Sing about the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.4
5Say to God, “How awe-inspiring are your works! Your enemies will cringe before you because of your great strength.6
7The whole earth will worship you and sing praise to you. They will sing praise to your name.”Selah8
9Come and see the wonders of God; his acts for humanity are awe-inspiring.10
11He turned the sea into dry land, and they crossed the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him.12
13He rules forever by his might; he keeps his eye on the nations. The rebellious should not exalt themselves.Selah14
15Bless our God, you peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard.16
17He keeps us alive and does not allow our feet to slip.18
19For you, God, tested us; you refined us as silver is refined.20
21You lured us into a trap; you placed burdens on our backs.22
23You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us out to abundance.24
25I will enter your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows26
27that my lips promised and my mouth spoke during my distress.28
29I will offer you fattened sheep as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will sacrifice bulls with goats.Selah30
31Come and listen, all who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me.32
33I cried out to him with my mouth, and praise was on my tongue.34
35If I had been aware of malice in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.36
37However, God has listened; he has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.38
39Blessed be God! He has not turned away my prayer or turned his faithful love from me.40
