Psalm 66

Revised Version 1895

For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm.

1Make a joyful noise unto GodH430, allH3605 the earthH776:

2SingH2167 forth the gloryH3519 of his nameH8034: makeH7760 his praiseH8416 glorious.

3SayH559 unto GodH430, HowH4100 terrible are thy worksH4639! through the greatnessH7230 of thy powerH5797 shall thine enemiesH341 submitH3584 themselves unto thee.

4AllH3605 the earthH776 shall worshipH7812 thee, and shall singH2167 unto thee; they shall singH2167 to thy nameH8034. SelahH5542

5Come, and seeH7200 the worksH5921 of GodH430; he is terrible in his doing towardH5921 the childrenH1121 of menH120.

6He turnedH2015 the seaH3220 intoH2015 dryH3004 landH3004: they went throughH5674 the riverH5104 on footH7272: there did weH8033 rejoiceH8055 in him.

7He ruleth by his might for everH5769; his eyesH5869 observe the nationsH1471: letH408 notH408 the rebelliousH5637 exaltH7311 themselves. SelahH5542

8O blessH1288 our GodH430, ye peoplesH5971, and makeH8085 the voiceH6963 of his praiseH8416 to be heardH8085.

9Which holdeth our soulH5315 in lifeH5315, and suffereth notH3808 our feetH7272 to be moved.

10For thou, O GodH430, hast provedH974 usH3588: thou hast triedH974 usH3588, as silverH3701 is triedH974.

11Thou broughtest usH935 intoH935 the netH4686; thou layedst a sore burdenH4157 uponH935 our loinsH4975.

12Thou hast caused menH582 to rideH7392 over our headsH7218; we wentH3318 throughH935 fireH784 and throughH935 waterH4325; but thou broughtest usH935 outH3318 intoH935 a wealthy placeH935.

13I will comeH935 intoH935 thy houseH1004 with burntH5930 offeringsH5088, I will payH7999 thee my vowsH5088,

14WhichH834 my lipsH8193 have utteredH6475, and my mouthH6310 hath spokenH1696, when I was in distressH6862.

15I will offerH5927 unto thee burntH5930 offeringsH5930 of fatlings, with the incenseH7004 of ramsH352; I will offerH5927 bullocks with goatsH6260. SelahH5542

16Come, and hearH8085, allH3605 ye that fearH3373 GodH430, and I will declareH5608 whatH834 he hath doneH6213 for my soulH5315.

17I criedH7121 unto him with my mouthH6310, and he was extolled with my tongueH3956.

18IfH518 I regardH7200 iniquityH205 in my heartH3820, the LordH136 will notH3808 hearH8085:

19But verily GodH430 hath heardH8085; he hath attended to the voiceH6963 of my prayerH8605.

20BlessedH1288 be GodH430, whichH834 hath notH3808 turnedH5493 awayH5493 my prayerH8605, norH3808 his mercy from meH1288.
