Psalms 66:1-12

1Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

2Sing of the honor and glory and magnificence of His name; Make His praise glorious.

3Say to God, “How awesome and fearfully glorious are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will pretend to be obedient to You.

4All the earth will [bow down to] worship You [in submissive wonder], And will sing praises to You; They will praise Your name in song.” Selah.

5Come and see the works of God, He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of men.

6He turned the sea into dry land; They crossed through the river on foot; There we rejoiced in Him.

7Who rules by His might forever, His eyes keep watch on the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

8Bless our God, O peoples, And make the sound of His praise be heard abroad,

9Who keeps us among the living, And does not allow our feet to slip or stumble.

10For You have tested us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined.

11You brought us into the net; You laid a heavy burden [of servitude] on us.

12You made men (charioteers) ride over our heads [in defeat]; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a [broad] place of abundance [to be refreshed].
