Psalmen 66

Psalmüberschrift: To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm.

¹Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:
²Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;
³Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.
⁴All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah.
⁵Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in [ergänzt: his] doings toward the children of men.
⁶He turned the sea into dry [ergänzt: land]; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
⁷He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
⁸Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
⁹Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
¹⁰For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
¹¹Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;
¹²Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.
¹³I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,
¹⁴Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
¹⁵I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
¹⁶Come, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
¹⁷I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
¹⁸Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.
¹⁹But God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
²⁰Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!
