Psalms 66
American Standard Version
1
For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:
2
Sing forth the glory of his name:
Make his praise glorious.
3
Say unto God, How terrible are thy works!
Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4
All the earth shall worship thee,
And shall sing unto thee;
They shall sing to thy name. [Selah
5
Come, and see the works of God;
He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6
He turned the sea into dry land;
They went through the river on foot:
There did we rejoice in him.
7
He ruleth by his might for ever;
His eyes observe the nations:
Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah
8
Oh bless our God, ye peoples,
And make the voice of his praise to be heard;
9
Who holdeth our soul in life,
And suffereth not our feet to be moved.
10
For thou, O God, hast proved us:
Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11
Thou broughtest us into the net;
Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.
12
Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
13
I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings;
I will pay thee my vows,
14
Which my lips uttered,
And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.
15
I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,
With the incense of rams;
I will offer bullocks with goats. [Selah
16
Come, and hear, all ye that fear God,
And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17
I cried unto him with my mouth,
And he was extolled with my tongue.
18
If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear:
19
But verily God hath heard;
He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20
Blessed be God,
Who hath not turned away my prayer,
Nor his lovingkindness from me.
