Psalm 66

A Song. A Psalm.

[1] Shout for joy to God, all the earth;

[2] sing the glory of his name;

give to him glorious praise!

[3] Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!

So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.

[4] All the earth worships you

and sings praises to you;

they sing praises to your name.” Selah

[5] Come and see what God has done:

he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.

[6] He turned the sea into dry land;

they passed through the river on foot.

There did we rejoice in him,

[7] who rules by his might forever,

whose eyes keep watch on the nations—

let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

[8] Bless our God, O peoples;

let the sound of his praise be heard,

[9] who has kept our soul among the living

and has not let our feet slip.

[10] For you, O God, have tested us;

you have tried us as silver is tried.

[11] You brought us into the net;

you laid a crushing burden on our backs;

[12] you let men ride over our heads;

we went through fire and through water;

yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

[13] I will come into your house with burnt offerings;

I will perform my vows to you,

[14] that which my lips uttered

and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.

[15] I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,

with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;

I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

[16] Come and hear, all you who fear God,

and I will tell what he has done for my soul.

[17] I cried to him with my mouth,

and high praise was on my tongue.

[18] If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened.

[19] But truly God has listened;

he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

[20] Blessed be God,

because he has not rejected my prayer

or removed his steadfast love from me! (ESV)
