PSALM 66
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1All lands to God in joyful sounds,
aloft your voices raise.
2Sing forth the honour of his name,
and glorious make his praise.
3Say unto God, How terrible
in all thy works art thou!
Through thy great pow'r thy foes to thee
shall be constrain'd to bow.
4All on the earth shall worship thee,
they shall thy praise proclaim
In songs: they shall sing cheerfully
unto thy holy name.
5Come, and the works that God hath wrought
with admiration see:
In's working to the sons of men
most terrible is he.
6Into dry land the sea he turn'd,
and they a passage had;
Ev'n marching through the flood on foot,
there we in him were glad.
7He ruleth ever by his pow'r;
his eyes the nations see:
O let not the rebellious ones
lift up themselves on high.
8Ye people, bless our God; aloud
the voice speak of his praise:
9Our soul in life who safe preserves,
our foot from sliding stays.
10For thou didst prove and try us, Lord,
as men do silver try;
11Brought'st us into the net,
and mad'st bands on our loins to lie.
12Thou hast caus'd men ride o'er our heads;
and though that we did pass
Through fire and water, yet thou brought'st
us to a wealthy place.
13I'll bring burnt off 'rings to thy house;
to thee my vows I'll pay,
14Which my lips utter'd, my mouth spake,
when trouble on me lay.
15Burnt-sacrifices of fat rams
with incense I will bring;
Of bullocks and of goats I will
present an offering.
16All that fear God, come, hear, I'll tell
what he did for my soul.
17I with my mouth unto him cry'd,
my tongue did him extol.
18If in my heart I sin regard,
the Lord me will not hear:
19But surely God me heard,
and to my prayer's voice gave ear.
20O let the Lord, our gracious God,
for ever blessed be,
Who turned not my pray'r from him,
nor yet his grace from me.

Psalms 66
66
1To him that excelleth. A song or Psalme. Rejoice in God, all ye inhabitants of the earth. 2Sing forth the glory of his name: make his praise glorious. 3Say vnto God, Howe terrible art thou in thy workes! through the greatnesse of thy power shall thine enemies be in subiection vnto thee. 4All the worlde shall worship thee, and sing vnto thee, euen sing of thy Name. Selah. 5Come and beholde the workes of God: he is terrible in his doing towarde the sonnes of men. 6He hath turned the Sea into drie land: they passe through the riuer on foote: there did we reioyce in him. 7He ruleth the worlde with his power: his eyes beholde the nations: the rebellious shall not exalt them selues. Selah. 8Prayse our God, ye people, and make the voyce of his prayse to be heard. 9Which holdeth our soules in life, and suffereth not our feete to slippe. 10For thou, O God, hast proued vs, thou hast tryed vs as siluer is tryed. 11Thou hast brought vs into the snare, and layed a strait chaine vpon our loynes. 12Thou hast caused men to ryde ouer our heads: we went into fire and into water, but thou broughtest vs out into a welthie place. 13I will go into thine House with burnt offrings, and will pay thee my vowes, 14Which my lippes haue promised, and my mouth hath spoken in mine affliction. 15I will offer vnto thee the burnt offerings of fat rammes with incense: I will prepare bullocks and goates. Selah. 16Come and hearken, all ye that feare God, and I will tell you what he hath done to my soule. 17I called vnto him with my mouth, and he was exalted with my tongue. 18If I regard wickednesse in mine heart, the Lord will not heare me. 19But God hath heard me, and considered the voyce of my prayer. 20Praysed be God, which hath not put backe my prayer, nor his mercie from me.
