Psalm 66, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

Shout with joy to God, all the earth!

2

Sing the glory of his name;
make his praise glorious!
 

3

Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power
that your enemies cringe before you.
 

4

All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you,
they sing praise to your name.”
Selah
 

5

Come and see what God has done,
how awesome his works in man’s behalf!
 

6

He turned the sea into dry land,
they passed through the waters on foot —
come, let us rejoice in him.
 

7

He rules forever by his power,
his eyes watch the nations —
let not the rebellious rise up against him.
Selah
 

8

Praise our God, O peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;
 

9

he has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping.
 

10

For you, O God, tested us;
you refined us like silver.
 

11

You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.
 

12

You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance.
 

13

I will come to your temple with burnt offerings
and fulfill my vows to you —
 

14

vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
when I was in trouble.
 

15

I will sacrifice fat animals to you
and an offering of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats.
Selah
 

16

Come and listen, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.
 

17

I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.
 

18

If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;
 

19

but God has surely listened
and heard my voice in prayer.
 

20

Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld his love from me!
