Psalm 66
1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise
glorious.
3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in 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
flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the
nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his
praise to be heard:
9 Which 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 laidst affliction
upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused 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 go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will
pay thee my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken,
when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices 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
me:
19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the
voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer,
nor his mercy from me.
