66:1  This psalm is a song for the music leader. Everyone on earth, shout aloud to praise God, because you are very happy.
66:2  Sing to praise his great name! Praise him in the way that he deserves.
66:3  Say to God, ‘You do great things! Your great power makes your enemies afraid. They come to you and they bend down to the ground.
66:4  The whole world bends down to worship you. Everyone sings to praise your name.’ Selah.
66:5  Come and see the great things that God has done. He has done wonderful miracles for people!
66:6  He caused the Red Sea to become dry land. Then his people walked across the Jordan River! So we praise him for what he did there!
66:7  He has the power to rule for ever. He watches everything that the nations do. Wicked people should not be proud and turn against him. Selah.
66:8  You people from every nation, agree that our God is great! Praise him with loud voices, so that everyone can hear!
66:9  He keeps our lives safe. He does not let us fall to the ground.
66:10  You have tested us, God. You wanted to make us pure, as they make silver pure in a hot fire.
66:11  You caused a trap to catch us, so that we had much pain and trouble.
66:12  You gave people power to hurt us. We went through dangerous fire and water. But then you brought us into a safe, open place.
66:13  I will bring burnt offerings to your Temple. I will bring to you the gifts that I promised.
66:14  When I was in trouble, I made those promises. I spoke them aloud.
66:15  I will offer to you gifts of fat animals, to burn them as sacrifices. I will also burn sheep as offerings, and their smell will please you. I will also offer to you bulls and goats. Selah.
66:16  Come and listen, all you people who serve God. I will tell you about the things that God has done for me.
66:17  I called to him for help, then I praised him aloud!
66:18  If I had kept wicked things in my mind, the Lord would not have listened to me.
66:19  But God did hear me. When I called to him, he listened to my prayer.
66:20  So I praise God, as he deserves. He has not refused to listen to me. He has continued to love me with his faithful love.
