Psalms 66

Praise for God’s Mighty Deeds and for His Answer to Prayer.

For the music director. A Song. A Psalm.

11Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;2Sing the 2glory of His name; Make His 3praise glorious.3Say to God, “How 4awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will 5pretend to obey You.46All the earth will worship You, And will 7sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name.” Selah

58Come and see the works of God, Who is 9awesome in His deeds toward the sons of mankind.6He 10turned the sea into dry land; They passed through 11the river on foot; Let’s 12rejoice there, in Him!7He 13rules by His might forever; His 14eyes keep watch on the nations; The rebellious shall not 15exalt themselves! Selah

8Bless our God, you peoples, And 1617sound His praise abroad,9Who 1819keeps us in life, And 20does not allow our feet to 21slip.10For You have 22put us to the test, God; You have 23refined us as silver is refined.11You 24brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon 25us.12You made men 26ride over our heads; We went through 27fire and through water. Yet You 28brought us out into a place of abundance.13I shall 29come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall 30pay You my vows,14Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was 31in distress.15I shall 32offer to You burnt offerings of fat animals, With the smoke of 33rams; I shall make an offering of 34bulls with male goats. Selah

1635Come and hear, all who 36fear God, And I will 37tell of what He has done for my soul.17I cried to Him with my mouth, And 38He was 39exalted with my tongue.18If I 4041regard wickedness in my heart, The 42Lord will not hear;19But 43God has heard; He has given attention to the sound of my prayer.2044Blessed be God, Who 45has not turned away my prayer Nor His favor from me.
