66:1 For the director. A song. A psalm. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;
66:2 sing to the glory of his name; offer to him glorious praise.
66:3 Say to God: “How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power, your enemies grovel before you.
66:4 The whole earth bows down in worship before you, singing praises to you, singing praises to your name.” Selah
66:5 Come and behold the works of God, the awesome deeds he has done for people.
66:6 He changed the sea into dry land; they crossed the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him,
66:7 for he rules forever by his power. His eyes keep watch over the nations so that the rebellious not exalt themselves. Selah
66:8 Bless our God, all you peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard.
66:9 For he has preserved our lives and has kept our feet from stumbling.
66:10 For you, O God, have put us to the test; you have purified us as silver is refined.
66:11 You allowed us to be snared in the net and placed heavy burdens on our backs.
66:12 You let our captors ride over our heads, and we went through fire and water, but now you have afforded us relief.
66:13 I will enter your house with burnt offerings and carry out my vows to you,
66:14 the vows that my lips pronounced and my mouth promised when I was in distress.
66:15 I will offer burnt offerings of fat animals with the smoke of burning rams; I will sacrifice to you bulls and goats. Selah
66:16 Come and listen, all you who fear God, while I relate what he has done for me.
66:17 I lifted up my voice in prayer to him; his praise was on my tongue.
66:18 If I had harbored evil in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
66:19 But God truly did listen, and he was attentive to the words of my prayer.
66:20 Blessed be God, because he did not reject my prayer or withhold his kindness from me.
