Psalm 66
Praise for God’s Mighty Acts
For the choir director. A song. A psalm.
1 Let the whole earth shout joyfully to God! e
2 Sing about the glory of his name;
make his praise glorious. f
3 Say to God, “How awe-inspiring are your works!
Your enemies will cringe before you
because of your great strength. g
4 The whole earth will worship you
and sing praise to you.
They will sing praise to your name.” h Selah
5 Come and see the wonders of God; i
his acts for humanity E are awe-inspiring.
6 He turned the sea into dry land,
and they crossed the river on foot. j
There we rejoiced in him. k
7 He rules forever by his might;
he keeps his eye on the nations. l
The rebellious should not exalt themselves. m Selah
let the sound of his praise be heard. n
9 He keeps us alive F
and does not allow our feet to slip. o
you refined us as silver is refined. p
you placed burdens on our backs. q
12 You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us out to abundance. G,r
13 I will enter your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay you my vows s
and my mouth spoke during my distress. t
15 I will offer you fattened sheep as burnt offerings,
with the fragrant smoke of rams;
I will sacrifice bulls with goats. u Selah
16 Come and listen, all who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for me. v
17 I cried out to him with my mouth,
and praise was on my tongue. w
18 If I had been aware of malice in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened. x
he has paid attention to the sound of my prayer. y
He has not turned away my prayer
or turned his faithful love from me. z
