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.

Psalm 66
For the music leader. A song. A psalm.
1Shout joyfully to God, all the earth!
2Sing praises to the glory of God’s name!
Make glorious his praise!
3Say to God:
“How awesome are your works!
Because of your great strength,
your enemies cringe before you.
4All the earth worships you,
sings praises to you,
sings praises to your name!” Selah
5Come and see God’s deeds;
his works for human beings are awesome:
6He turned the sea into dry land
so they could cross the river on foot.
Right there we rejoiced in him!
7God rules with power forever;
keeps a good eye on the nations.
So don’t let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8All you nations, bless our God!
Let the sound of his praise be heard!
9God preserved us among the living;
he didn’t let our feet slip a bit.
10But you, God, have tested us—
you’ve refined us like silver,
11trapped us in a net,
laid burdens on our backs,
12let other people run right over our heads—
we’ve been through fire and water.
But you brought us out to freedom!
13So I’ll enter your house
with entirely burned offerings.
I’ll keep the promises I made to you,
14the ones my lips uttered,
the ones my mouth spoke when I was in deep trouble.
15I will offer the best burned offerings to you
along with the smoke of sacrificed rams.
I will offer both bulls and goats. Selah
16Come close and listen,
all you who honor God;
I will tell you what God has done for me:
17My mouth cried out to him
with praise on my tongue.
18If I had cherished evil in my heart,
my Lord would not have listened.
19But God definitely listened.
He heard the sound of my prayer.
20Bless God! He didn’t reject my prayer;
he didn’t withhold his faithful love from me.
