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 director of music. A song. A psalm.
1Shout to God for joy, everyone on earth!
2Sing about the glory of his name!
Give him glorious praise!
3Say to God, “What wonderful things you do!
Your power is so great
that your enemies bow down to you in fear.
4Everyone on earth bows down to you.
They sing praise to you.
They sing the praises of your name.”
5Come and see what God has done.
See what wonderful things he has done for people!
6He turned the Red Sea into dry land.
The people of Israel passed through the waters on foot.
Come, let us be full of joy because of what he did.
7He rules by his power forever.
His eyes watch the nations.
Let no one who refuses to obey him rise up against him.
8Praise our God, all you nations.
Let the sound of the praise you give him be heard.
9He has kept us alive.
He has kept our feet from slipping.
10God, you have tested us.
You put us through fire to make us like silver.
11You put us in prison.
You placed heavy loads on our backs.
12You let our enemies ride their chariots over our heads.
We went through fire and water.
But you brought us to a place
where we have everything we need.
13I will come to your temple with burnt offerings.
I will keep my promises to you.
14I made them with my lips.
My mouth spoke them when I was in trouble.
15I will sacrifice fat animals to you as burnt offerings.
I will offer rams, bulls and goats to you.
16Come and hear, all you who have respect for God.
Let me tell you what he has done for me.
17I cried out to him with my mouth.
I praised him with my tongue.
18If I had enjoyed having sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.
19But God has surely listened.
He has heard my prayer.
20Give praise to God.
He has accepted my prayer.
He has not held back his love from me.
