Psalm 66
To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.
Be joyful in God, all you lands; sing praises to the honor of his Name; make his praise to be glorious.
Say to God, “How wonderful are your works; through the greatness of your power shall your enemies cower before you.
For all the world shall worship you, sing to you, and praise your Name.”
O come and see the works of God, how wonderful he is in his doing toward all people.
He turned the sea into dry land, so that they went through the water on foot; therefore in him let us rejoice.
He rules with his power for ever; his eyes keep watch over the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves.
Bless our God, you peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard,
Who holds our soul in life, and does not allow our feet to slip.
For you, O God, have proved us; you have tried us, as silver is tried.
You brought us into the snare and laid trouble upon our backs.
You allowed men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and water; but you brought us out into a place of plenty.
I will go into your house with burnt offerings and will pay you my vows,
Even those which I promised with my lips and spoke with my mouth when I was in trouble.
I will offer you burnt sacrifices of fattened beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks and goats.
Come here and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he has done for me.
I called to him with my mouth, and gave him praises with my tongue.
If I had inclined toward wickedness with my heart, the Lord would not have heard me.
But God has heard me and considered the voice of my prayer.
Blessed be God who has not refused my prayer, nor turned his mercy from me.
