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.

Praise to God for His Awesome Works
To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm.
1Make #Ps. 100:1a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2Sing out the honor of His name;
Make His praise glorious.
3Say to God,
“How #Ps. 65:5awesome are Your works!
#Ps. 18:44Through the greatness of Your power
Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.
4#Ps. 117:1; Zech. 14:16All the earth shall worship You
And sing praises to You;
They shall sing praises to Your name.”
Selah
5Come and see the works of God;
He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
6#Ex. 14:21He turned the sea into dry land;
#Josh. 3:14–16They went through the river on foot.
There we will rejoice in Him.
7He rules by His power forever;
His eyes observe the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.
Selah
8Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
9Who keeps our soul among the living,
And does not allow our feet to be moved.
10For #Job 23:10; Ps. 17:3You, O God, have tested us;
#(Is. 48:10; Zech. 13:9; Mal. 3:3; 1 Pet. 1:7)You have refined us as silver is refined.
11#Lam. 1:13; Ezek. 12:13You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
12#Is. 51:23You have caused men to ride over our heads;
#Is. 43:2We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.
13#Ps. 100:4; 116:14, 17–19I will go into Your house with burnt offerings;
#(Eccl. 5:4)I will pay You my vows,
14Which my lips have uttered
And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
15I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,
With the sweet aroma of rams;
I will offer bulls with goats.
Selah
16Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue.
18#Job 27:9; (Prov. 15:29; 28:9); Is. 1:15; (John 9:31; James 4:3)If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
19But certainly God #Ps. 116:1, 2has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!
