Psalm 66, NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

2

Sing the glory of His name;
Make His praise glorious.
 

3

Say to God, “How awesome are Your works!
Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will give feigned obedience to You.
 

4

“All the earth will worship You,
And will sing praises to You;
They will sing praises to Your name.”  Selah.
 

5

Come and see the works of God,
Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.
 

6

He turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through the river on foot;
There let us rejoice in Him!
 

7

He rules by His might forever;
His eyes keep watch on the nations;
Let not the rebellious exalt themselves.  Selah.
 

8

Bless our God, O peoples,
And sound His praise abroad,
 

9

Who keeps us in life
And does not allow our feet to slip.
 

10

For You have tried us, O God;
You have refined us as silver is refined.
 

11

You brought us into the net;
You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.
 

12

You made men ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water,
Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.
 

13

I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall pay You my vows,
 

14

Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.
 

15

I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts,
With the smoke of rams;
I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats.  Selah.
 

16

Come and hear, all who fear God,
And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.
 

17

I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue.
 

18

If I regard wickedness in my heart,
The Lord will not hear;
 

19

But certainly God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
 

20

Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.
