←Prev   Psalms 66 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


66:1  Shout joyfully to God, all the earth!
66:2  Sing praises to the glory of God’s name! Make glorious his praise!
66:3  Say to God: “How awesome are your works! Because of your great strength, your enemies cringe before you.
66:4  All the earth worships you, sings praises to you, sings praises to your name!” Selah
66:5  Come and see God’s deeds; his works for human beings are awesome:
66:6  He turned the sea into dry land so they could cross the river on foot. Right there we rejoiced in him!
66:7  God rules with power forever; keeps a good eye on the nations. So don’t let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
66:8  All you nations, bless our God! Let the sound of his praise be heard!
66:9  God preserved us among the living; he didn’t let our feet slip a bit.
66:10  But you, God, have tested us— you’ve refined us like silver,
66:11  trapped us in a net, laid burdens on our backs,
66:12  let other people run right over our heads— we’ve been through fire and water. But you brought us out to freedom!
66:13  So I’ll enter your house with entirely burned offerings. I’ll keep the promises I made to you,
66:14  the ones my lips uttered, the ones my mouth spoke when I was in deep trouble.
66:15  I will offer the best burned offerings to you along with the smoke of sacrificed rams. I will offer both bulls and goats. Selah
66:16  Come close and listen, all you who honor God; I will tell you what God has done for me:
66:17  My mouth cried out to him with praise on my tongue.
66:18  If I had cherished evil in my heart, my Lord would not have listened.
66:19  But God definitely listened. He heard the sound of my prayer.
66:20  Bless God! He didn’t reject my prayer; he didn’t withhold his faithful love from me.
