66:1 To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth; 66:2 sing the glory of his name;give to him glorious praise! 66:3 Say to God, 'How terrible are thy deeds! So great is thy power that thy enemies cringe before thee. 66:4 All the earth worships thee;they sing praises to thee, sing praises to thy name.' [Selah] 66:5 Come and see what God has done: he is terrible in his deeds among men. 66:6 He turned the sea into dry land;men passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him, 66:7 who rules by his might for ever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations -- let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah] 66:8 Bless our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard, 66:9 who has kept us among the living, and has not let our feet slip. 66:10 For thou, O God, hast tested us;thou hast tried us as silver is tried. 66:11 Thou didst bring us into the net;thou didst lay affliction on our loins; 66:12 thou didst let men ride over our heads;we went through fire and through water;yet thou hast brought us forth to a spacious place. 66:13 I will come into thy house with burnt offerings;I will pay thee my vows, 66:14 that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble. 66:15 I will offer to thee burnt offerings of fatlings, with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;I will make an offering of bulls and goats. [Selah] 66:16 Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me. 66:17 I cried aloud to him, and he was extolled with my tongue. 66:18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. 66:19 But truly God has listened;he has given heed to the voice of my prayer. 66:20 Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!
