Psalms 66:1-12

1Make a joyful noise to God, all ye lands:1 2Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. 3Say to God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit themselves to thee.2 4All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing to thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. 5Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. 6He turned the sea into dry land : they went through the flood on foot: there we rejoiced in him. 7He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

8O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: 9Who holdeth our soul in life, and alloweth not our feet to be moved.3 10For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. 11Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast laid affliction upon our loins. 12Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place .4
