Psa66

Psalms – Chater 66

¹For the leader. A song; a psalm.

I

²Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

sing of his glorious name;

give him glorious praise.

³Say to God: “How awesome your deeds!

Before your great strength your enemies cringe.

⁴All the earth falls in worship before you;

they sing of you, sing of your name!”

Selah

II

⁵Come and see the works of God,

awesome in deeds before the children of Adam.

⁶He changed the sea to dry land;

through the river they passed on foot.

There we rejoiced in him,

⁷who rules by his might forever,

His eyes are fixed upon the nations.

Let no rebel rise to challenge!

Selah

⁸Bless our God, you peoples;

loudly sound his praise,

⁹Who has kept us alive

and not allowed our feet to slip.

¹⁰You tested us, O God,

tried us as silver tried by fire.

¹¹You led us into a snare;

you bound us at the waist as captives.

¹²You let captors set foot on our neck;

we went through fire and water;

then you led us out to freedom.

III

¹³I will bring burnt offerings to your house;

to you I will fulfill my vows,

¹⁴Which my lips pronounced

and my mouth spoke in my distress.

¹⁵Burnt offerings of fatlings I will offer you

and sacrificial smoke of rams;

I will sacrifice oxen and goats.

Selah

¹⁶Come and hear, all you who fear God,

while I recount what has been done for me.

¹⁷I called to him with my mouth;

praise was upon my tongue.

¹⁸Had I cherished evil in my heart,

the Lord would not have heard.

¹⁹But God did hear

and listened to my voice in prayer.

²⁰Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer

and refuse his mercy.
