Psalms 66

¹To the Overseer. -- A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.
²Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.
³Say to God, `How fearful `are' Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.
⁴All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.
⁵Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.
⁶He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.
⁷Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.
⁸Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,
⁹Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.
¹⁰For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.
¹¹Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.
¹²Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.
¹³I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,
¹⁴For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:
¹⁵`Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.
¹⁶Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.
¹⁷Unto Him `with' my mouth I have called, And exaltation `is' under my tongue.
¹⁸Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.
¹⁹But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
²⁰Blessed `is' God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
