Psalms 66:1-12

1Shout happily to God, all the earth!

2Make music to praise the glory of his name. Make his praise glorious.

3Say to God, “How awe-inspiring are your deeds! Your power is so great that your enemies will cringe in front of you.

4The whole earth will worship you. It will make music to praise you. It will make music to praise your name.” Selah

5Come and see what God has done— his awe-inspiring deeds for Adam’s descendants.

6He turned the sea into dry land. They crossed the river on foot. We rejoiced because of what he did there.

7He rules forever with his might. His eyes watch the nations. Rebels will not be able to oppose him. Selah

8Thank our God, you nations. Make the sound of his praise heard.

9He has kept us alive and has not allowed us to fall.

10You have tested us, O God. You have refined us in the same way silver is refined.

11You have trapped us in a net. You have laid burdens on our backs.

12You let people ride over our heads. We went through fire and water, but then you brought us out and refreshed us.
