Psalm 66

TO THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, A SONG OR PSALM.

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.
